The Wisconsin Senate doesn’t start it’s next session until next January. Plenty of time to get it done right.

There's another consideration that most have forgotten. After the 2010 elections GOP controlled the senate 19-14. For some kinds of bills a quorum of 20 were required (and still are as far as I know), hence ALL the Rat senators fled to Illinois as preventing that forum was their only way to stop Walker. They finally returned and Walker's bill passed. Then started the recall efforts. The Rats managed to steal 2 GOP seats prior to this election, but somehow none of their fleas faced recalls.

If the Racine theft holds the GOP will probably gain at least 1 seat in the fall to take back narrow control. BUT can they take 4 seats to get to the 20 supermajority to prevent a relapse of fleas? If the GOP can hold this seat and gain 3 more, and they claim to have 2 or 3 decent chances, they'd get more done next year.
