[EL] Scott Walker throwing WI Club For Growth et al under the bus in John Doe

[Steve Hoersting]

No, Josh, not "smartly" on Walker's part. Foolishly.

Regrettably, shortsightedness afflicts many Republicans these days (says
this Republican). If Walker agrees to any settlement that countenances the
legitimacy of Schmitz's tactics and legal theory, it will mark an undoing:
No opponents of big-government-progressivism can ever be elected in
Wisconsin again.

The stakes are that high.

As Margaret Thatcher once said, Political intimidation must be put down --
or it's not one political party or the other that's in the dock but
Democracy itself.
