 Seeing blue elephants

Glenn Reynolds thinks the Michigan "life-in-prison-for-adultery" decision shows that Blue states are just as stupidly theocratic as Red states.

Actually, all it shows is that Blue-state conservative right-to-life Republican politicians can be just as stupidly theocratic and hypocritical as Red-staters, and that judges who insist on "strict construction" rather than trying to interpret laws so as to comport with justice and common sense can reach astonishingly absurd decisions.

What that says about Red-state Republican strict constructionists is, as the math textbooks say, left as an exercise for the reader.
