Is it me,

The recall power is a lousy idea; there are other ways to negate a bad governor, like tie his hands with a legislature of the other party two years down the line (at the national level, think Bill Clinton and the Republican Revolution in 1994). In addition, it's pretty clear that the recall was abused mightily in this case by the left and the unions. So why not admit that it probably isn't useful, and fraught with opportunities for abuse, and get rid of it?

Besides, I don't know Wisconsin's rules on constitutional amendments, but if they're like we are in Indiana, it has to pass both houses of the legislature and then survive two consecutive plebescites. It shouldn't be easy to amend a constitution but at the same time you have to have a legislature that's willing to consider it before the people even get a chance to vote.

And I think you are more than a bit overwrought. There's nobody bringing anybody to their knees, and no intention of doing so in my musing. Perhaps you are a Democrat?
