I do hope the Draft Paul Ryan movement works. He needs to be exposed to the light of day in the same way Walker was. Paul Ryan hides behind sound bites and an unearned reputation as a fiscal policy whiz. What better way to move his fantastic hurt-the-poor ideas forward than to lead all the other true believers to the promised land? Of course once he's saddled with the reputation as the guy who shut down the government, killed social security, destroyed what's left of American female autonomy - what else is on the list? - he won't be able to go back to that smiling aw shucks mask hiding all that nastiness. He's just the guy to lead them to, in McCarthy's words, 'rock bottom'.

But one fill, though comparatively inconsequential, may lead to another, and another, and before long a great body may be eaten away until it may no longer exist. Our navigable waters are a precious natural heritage, once gone, they disappear forever," wrote the Wisconsin Supreme Court in its 1960 opinion resolving Hixon v. PSC and buttressing The Public Trust Doctrine, Article IX of the Wisconsin State Constitution.
