Wiki needs fixing! It clearly is not accurate. It SHOULD read:
pettifogger (plural pettifoggers)
1. A Democrat politician.
2. Someone who quibbles over trivia, and raises petty, annoying objections and sophistry.
3. An unscrupulous or unethical lawyer, especially one of lesser skill.

Not really archaic. Or if it is, it shouldn’t be.
Pettifoggery is alive and well in our halls of power.

Our ever-increasingly litigious society brings out many a pettifogger, enjoying pâté de foie gras at the expense of their clients and insurance companies – whoever has the deepest pockets…
