Advisory sent out to GOP Party-Line-Agitprop-Central: California Republicans pulled the quorum walkout stunt back in 1994. This from today's Orange County Register ...

The Republicans sensed doom, and to block the Assembly from having a quorum to do business, they scurried across L Street to the Hyatt, and hunkered down. Reporters stalked the hotel corridors, looking for lawmakers.

"Is there a session? Gee, I hadn't heard. First chance I get, I'll check on it," then-Assemblyman Ross Johnson, R-Irvine, told The California Journal.

Brown also sent the Assembly's sergeants at arms to hunt down the Republicans, but they never found them.

After less then a day, the Republicans left town, leaving only Democrats when the Assembly convened on Dec. 8, 1994. The speakership was left unresolved until January.

Back to the drawing board.
