Is this a trend with politicians going alinear over criticism? Taranto: Voice of Treason A Midwestern governor is accusing a dissenting legislator of "treason" and demanding that he be removed from office. The state is Michigan; the governor, Jennifer GRANHOLM, is a Democrat; and the legislator, Rick Baxter, is a Republican. At issue is a "Cross Country" column Baxter co-wrote with think-tanker Gary Wolfram that appeared Thursday in The Wall Street Journal. Baxter and Wolfram criticized GRANHOLM for proposing to bulk up the Wolverine State's already hefty tax burden. GRANHOLM was born in Canada; she did not breathe the sweet air of freedom until she was 4, when her parents moved to California. This column strongly disagrees with the nativist argument that immigrants cannot adapt to America's democratic culture, but perhaps we'll have to make an exception for Canadians.
