What he said ...

Sen. Elton's editorial has the right take on the efforts by Jimmy C. and Gov. Dorkowski to unravel the Constitutionally-mandated judicial appointment scheme. I had thought about posting Jimmy C.'s earlier editorial about it, but his arguments were simply so lame that I couldn't think where to begin.

So, if any of you are tempted at all to take Jimmy C. at his word, please don't be such saps. This is not about a more democratic system (or he would support the amendment calling for direct election of replacement Senators who are not his daughter), or any other principle of note. It is simply about cronyism and the arrogance of power.

I just hope the JC has the fortitude to stand up for itself.
