There is one Freep endorsement I quite strongly disagree with: Cliff Taylor for Michgian Supreme Court justice. I've written before that he is a horrible justice, putting ideology over law. He is frequently putting partisan causes ahead of impartial deliberations of what the law says. Even so, the Detroit Free Press, after documenting his many faults, quite reluctantly endorses him. They say Hathaway is as partisan and completely out of her league:
What Hathaway says about how she would simply "follow the law" is not unlike what Taylor says about his philosophy. But in an interview with the Free Press editorial board, Hathaway could not say why she would arrive at different decisions from Taylor, only that she would. She would likely be out of her depth on the high court, and not much more than a reliable, but unexplained, vote that's the opposite of Taylor's. That's not reason enough to put her there.
So, do you want a Republican partisan or a Democrat partisan?
