Right? I mean, all we now have to do is to run to this Judge in Alaska and point out that if Joe Miller's confidential personnel file from a prior employer needs to be made public because running for Senate is so important, certainly we are entitled to more information about Obama than he tells us in his books, right?
From the Anchorage Daily News, Judge orders Miller documents released:
In an unusual weekend hearing, retired Superior Court Judge Winston Burbank ruled that the public's right to know about candidates outweighed Miller's right to privacy.
"I hold that although Mr. Miller has a legitimate expectation of privacy in those documents, Mr. Miller's right to privacy is indeed outweighed by the public's significant interest in the background of a public figure who is running for the U.S. Senate," the judge said. He noted that U.S. senator is among the highest elected offices in the nation.
This makes perfect sense on the face of it.
Alaska, here we come.
His connection to Murkowski makes this a net gain for Miller.
Years ago, I asked for school district records under the Freedom of Information Act. I was told that we could see everything EXCEPT personnel records and land acquisition information!!!!
Wow, all we get is "no standing"!
Retroactive ?
I kinda of figured there wasa direct political-payback in the mix.
Appointed by Murkowski? Or merely encouraged by her and her family? “Heir-by-degree” now for repubbies she?
Kennedy. Biden. Murkowski. Missouri’s elect-the-dead candidate. (Carnahan.)
That is the logical outcome of his decision. Of course, as a state judge he could only demand that the Alaskan Democrat party make the disclosure and they would claim they had no way to honor the request. However, that MAY provide the necessary reason for the State of Hawaii to provide Alaska with a long form copy. And it is certainly in play for 2012 should Obama run again and want to be on the ballot in Alaska.
SOMEBODY SHOULD FILE THAT RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!!
Will these records be a problem for Miller?
Where is the judge that will show us Obama’s records...and why wasn’t the RINO who must have had standing screaming for them? Huh, Mr Juan “you have nothing to fear from a President Obama” McCain?
I hold that the opinion of this judge is unfounded by the constitution or any law. Appeal to the top! Meanwhile, don’t comply!
Did you forget? No voter has standing in the case of ‘The Great Usurper’. You are not allowed to ask these questions. Nothing to see here....move along.
That would be nice.
But the rationale here may have been that Miller worked for the government and this qualifies under some freedom of information act.
If a judge could order any and all employment records to be released there is no privacy at all, so it's likely that the fact that he did work for the government is the reason behind the decision.
The same rule probably wouldn't apply to college and law school records, even if they might be more relevant to voters' decisions.
Did not Obama get a judge to release some records of someone he was running against?
If there were any competent attorneys out there with the guts to bring the suit. Where’s Judicial Watch and ACLJ on all of this?
Equal justice undet the law...file discrimination charges since Obama has failed to release his records in obtaining the highest office in the land. Heck, Obama might not have even been elegible for IL state office.
Oh unintended consequences... Get tangled into the web we weave.
I couldn’t say, but it wouldn`t surprise me! Those leftists are all about “Do as I say, not as I do.”,prime example, Al Gore.
Yes he did. His name was Jack Ryan.

1) Obama challenged qualifying signatures on all his Illinois State Senate Democrat primary opponents’ applications (see Alice Palmer), running unopposed
2) Obama had sealed divorce records of his Democrat primary opponent Blair Hull exposed, revealing accusations of wife-beating and forcing Hull out of the primary
3) Obama had sealed divorce records of his Republican opponent Jack Ryan exposed, revealing accusations of wanting to perform public sex acts and forcing Ryan out of the general election.
4) Obama claims his legislative records in Illinois were not archived, and presumably destroyed, leaving no paper trail of his past government experience. (See last paragraph of article)
It seems that Obama can’t win without legal technicalities or by destroying his opponent by exposing sealed private records.
“Appointed by Murkowski?”
Appointed by her father.
