Hard to believe, but true – the Wisconsin legislature is set to consider a bill that would allow Wisconsin legislators to compile a secret list of potential successors in the event of an attack on the state. Should legislators be killed, those from the secret list would serve in a re-constituted legislature.

(There is an amendment pending that would make the successor list public.
Every person in our legislature supporting a secret successor list – every last one – is unworthy of representing the people of Wisconsin.
For those who might think all of this a joke, or rumor, it’s not.
Here’s a link to the Wisconsin Assembly bill:
