Nerditorial: I have an exit strategy for Wisconsin

"When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro." Hunter S Thompson.

I am not drunk. Seriously.

And I'm not high either. Seriously.

The inherent silliness of my exit strategy is exceeded only by its inherent elegance.

Here is how it would go...

The goal is to get 20 Wisconsin State Senators in Madison, composed of 11 Democrats and 9 Republicans. With this composition, there would be a quorum that could transact business, and there would be enough Democratic votes to sustain a motion to kill the bill.

But how do you get such a quorum in place?

Well, I will tell you.

11 Republican State Senators go to Illinois and trade places with the currently self exiled Democrats.

But wait... there's more...

Because you have to insure that the Republican senators can't just turn around and race back to Madison. So you have the 3 remaining out of state Democrat senators and the 11 Republican senators get on a plane... to Hawaii... London... Australia. Doesn't matter, as long it is a flight involving crossing an ocean. Once the flight is in the air... the 11 Democratic senators return to Madison. Now, by the time the 14 at large Senators are able to make it back to Wisconsin, the Senate with its quorum of 20 would be able to kill the bill dead.

...and as I've said before... I'm not drunk. So knock it off.

Getting 11 Republican Senators in Wisconsin to agree to make this happen is highly unlikely, but it is more likely than Governor Walker budging a single solitary inch.

As far fetched and silly as this end game clearly is, and as unlikely as the State Senate is to go for it, it may be the most viable exit strategy available to Wisconsin.
