Three Branches for Palm Sunday

Here’s Elliot’s take on the MJS’ Clifford endorsement.

In their inevitable editorial endorsing liberal lawyer Linda Clifford for Wisconsin’s Supreme Court, the Miwaukee Journal Sentinel dismissed concerns that Clifford might be an “activist judge” by saying:

The law must evolve to meet changing needs.

Sure, sometimes the law might need to change with the times. Luckily, we have an entire branch of government dedicated to changing the law when it needs changing: it’s called the legislature.

Yep.  Actually, upon reading the MJS’ endorsement, I just assumed it was an April Fool’s joke.
