It appears that Dean has looked the success rate of Judicial Watch.

With Larry Klayman on the job these boxes will likely stay secret until at least 2112.

Dean also knows that by the time the judge has read all the material, the election will be over.

Dean Says Judge Should Decide What Records to Release

Judge: This dope thinks I am going to sift through 142 boxes? Release all of them.
Next Case!

I can dream can't I?

[TalBlack]

I cannot believe that a guy who expects to be elected POTUS wants it to happen as he hides his records as governer.

Of course today in the Clinton party it is pretty much SOP.

[Pukin Dog]

Huge mistake by Dean. It will only play into more comparisons by his opposition. They will accuse him of hiding behind a Judge. He is playing right into Hillary's hands. He is going to be forced to open the records eventually, so he should do it now and get it behind him. There will be a media push by those who wanted Kerry to embarrass Dean.

""What we think the best thing to do is to let the judge go through every single document and decide for himself what ought to be revealed and what not to be revealed," Dean said."

Clearly Dean doesn't have to wait for the mechanisms of a lawsuit, with all the procedural delays, scheduling problems, docket delay issues, etc, if he really WANTS to release information.

For example, Dean could easily set up a commission of independent 3rd parties to review the documents for legitimate privacy issues -- that would get the docs out now rather than later. Then Judicial Watch can sue over the 'withheld' docs if they are still so inclined. Hell, you could let Larry Klayman be PART of the review commission for that matter, to keep him satisfied.

Methinks Dean is NOT interested in disclosure.

The guy can't make a call on this itty bitty issue, and he wants to be POTUS? His nickname will be Indecision Dean.

[cubreporter]

Didn't he just flat out say if Pres Bush opened his records to the public Dean would too?

Didn't he just flat out say Pres Bush's records were buried in his father's Pres library?

Didn't he find out that was wrong and was a flat out lie?

Now he thinks a judge should decide what should and should not be released? This man has SOMETHING TO HIDE FOLKS...

What a freakin' idiot. First Kerry, now dean. Yipes. Oh well, we've had our Comedy Central from the dem/lib party haven't we?

[Behind Liberal Lines]

Translation: Dean says that the only way to get him to release his records is to take him to court.

Dean Says Judge Should Decide What Records to Release

I can understand secrecy for national security, but what state secret could a governor have that needs to be kept from us?

[Arpege92]

I heard that Dean would open these records just as soon as Bush opened his. Well, Bush opened his and now Dean's going back on his word.
