#3 Will the government be able to legally function without that section of the population being represented? It can't be as simple as "don't let the door hit you in the butt on the way out". This guy isn't a total idiot or he wouldn't be where he is. He just has to be a first-rate a$$hole.

#4 Not unexpected; the movement has shown quite consistently of 'pulling out all the stops', in their continuing road to distraction and disruption. "Tater" ruling from absentia can only rally his minions as he wait for that fateful date of reconciling with an inevitable hellfire missile!

#7 This sounds like the situation in Italy or Israel when one of the 236 coalition partners pulls out. It depends on whether the remaining members have a majority.

#8 If he leaves, can we whack him and his cronies while he is out of government? I mean, the diplomatic immunity no longer applies because they aren't part of the government, right?
