The creep forgot this part of the story.
SUPREME COURT PICK
Bailey suggests in the book that one of Palin’s picks for the Supreme Court was colored by her animosity against Wooten. He wrote that District Court Judge Morgan Christen ruled in favor of Palin’s sister in her custody dispute with Wooten, and that Todd Palin raved about how Christen raked Wooten over the coals.
Christen later applied for the state Supreme Court and was picked by the Alaska Judicial Council as one of the two candidates for Palin to consider appointing. Bailey wrote that he warned Palin it would be a conflict of interest, but she wasn’t interested.
But a spokeswoman for the Alaska Court System said Bailey got his facts wrong. Christen was never the assigned judge in the Wooten custody case, didn’t make any rulings in favor of either party, and played a “very limited role,” according to Christine Johnson, administrative director for the court system.
Johnson said prior to applying for the Supreme Court Christen conducted a conference in the case, where both sides agreed to a settlement. Wooten and Palin’s sister later had a dispute over what they’d agreed upon in the settlement and asked Christen to resolve it, Johnson said. But Christen sent it to another judge because she’d applied to the Supreme Court and had a conflict.
Don’t expect the PDS folks to give a damn about the facts here.
The creep is Craig Medred.
