There's no quibbling with the fact that if it does stand, Walker and Republicans will have gotten their way in the short term fight. But let's recall an important fact: Republicans control the governorship and state legislature. The fact that they were forced to resort to this trick is itself a concession that they had lost the battle as they themselves had previously defined it. And in so doing, they were forced to pull a maneuver that will only lend even more energy to the drive to recall them. “
Wow, this guy is great one for Republicans to go to for political advice.
Looking at his archives I dont see him saying something similar when Obama-care was rammed through with budget reconciliation.

They gutted another Bill that had passed reconciliation, replaced the contents entirely, and called it good.
All behind closed, locked doors.
And they called it legal, proper and Constitutional.
