Can Boehner fill the seats of thise skipping the speech with staffers? Or will the seats be empty?

I have read suggestions on twitter that folks be in the chamber, and leave when Bibi begins to speak to prevent this, or just stand and turn their backs on him during the speech.
My question, can or would Boehner fill the empty seats with staffers?

1. Can't answer that question.

I'd like to fill the seats with people drowning him out with a chant of PEACE NOW!!!, PEACE NOW!!!, PEACE NOW!!!

2. I was told by a Congressman he could probably get me in if I wanted to go...

Seats are regularly filled by staff or friends.

4. Then they should remain until he starts speech and then silently file out.

3. If he can, there's one graphic that it's tailor-made for...

Use a high resolution photo, identify all the actual congress members in it, and mark everybody in three colors: one for Republican congresspeople, one for Democratic congresspeople, and one for flunkies taking up space.

If they're going to use a version of the "Brooks Brothers riot" tactic, they've telegraphed it way in advanced, and there's no excuse for not being ready for it.

5. He'll charge tourists $1000 a seat.

That will buy a lot of booze and a lot of time at the tanning spa.
