Does the Wall Street Journal Even Read What It Writes?

The Wall Street Journal opines feebly on the Missouri Non-partisan Court Plan:

Though the Missouri Plan is supposed to keep politics out of the process, it has instead transferred power from voters to state bar associations and legal groups that control the judicial commission....

Mr. Blunt has said he's committed to filling the open seat with a judge "who will faithfully interpret our constitution and not legislate from the bench." That's a request the commission could easily have met with such highly qualified options as former U.S. Attorney Stephen Easton or well-respected lawyer Brenda Talent.

The WSJ apparently believes we can "keep politics out" of the judicial selection process by nominating a judge whose only distinguishing qualification for the job is her marriage to a prominent Republican politician.  Genius.­
