Breaking: WI GOP State Sen Schultz Says Walker Move a "Classic Overreach" and GOP Colleagues Unsure

"All I know is that we're not talking, we're wasting valuable time about collective bargaining, which I don't ever remember being a part of last election's discussion what so ever."

"You know, to me, this just looks like the classic overreach."

"That's correct. And you know what? I can tell my colleagues are very good and listening to ... I can't tell you how they're going to vote." (Answering a question related to the Democrats needing three Republicans to join their cause.)

"We have, you know, the governor taking a phone call on a prank... and umm... you know, you wonder why people don't have any faith in the political process."

1. Well, you don't really have to wonder
Perhaps the senator misspoke, but the reality is that when the governor takes a prank call seriously, you reallky *don't* have to wonder why people don't have faith in the political process.

3. Being fined $100 a day may force back Democrats, or at least one
and one is all they need.

4. I think they'll find the fine is unconstitutional. You can't pass
a law like that after the fact.

5. Interesting. Looks as if Walker just lost one vote for sure. And Shultz burned some bridges here
also. This could be the crack in the Republican wall.

8. Don't worry, he's only saying this because he's about to be recalled
And he knows his chances are shit.

9. Walker's fate
I've got $100 to bet that Walker will end up being a Fox "news" newscaster, AKA highly-biased-and-constantly-lying-commentator, within a year. But nobody will take my bet because the line is 1-100 that he will be.

12. I'll take that bet. Fox will have him on, but will not hire him.
