Ouch. Payback is a b!tch.
Although, I think they should have let the media do it without prodding from any political figures.
This is really none of my business and I see no reason for the state to be opening records of private citizens against their wishes. Even idiot private citizens.
Despite the vile methods employed by the left, and the pragmatism of being just like them; this is wrong.
Personally, I don't like this. But I heard Napolitano saying on Fox that opening Ryan's records was the right decision, and he is quite conservative.
He said that anytime you file anything in court, you should expect it to be part of the public record, even sealed divorce cases. I find this strange, but I don't agree with lots of things judges decide.
What is the media thinking? Don't they know this kind of invasive probing is only relevant when dealing with Alabama National Guard dental records?
Sealed records...I guess not. Kerry is an ass, but I don't think it takes unsealing private divorce records to see that.
I see a storm brewing in the path of the S. S. Kerry.

A judge in Boston? You have to be kidding..
Remember this is the People's Republic of Massachusetts, the feudal lands and serfs of the Kennedys. The courts there are ,shall we say, politically oriented. Kerry's records will never be opened up before the election. Now if it were a Republican candidate, the records would be "outed" to the media before the first phone call from a reporter was finished.
Hillary needs them for the election.
I'd rather they forced Tay Raise Ahhh to release her tax returns in full...but this will do....(grin)
Lets see how much Senator Gigilo made off of that....
Its about time.
I find it wrong to open sealed records, but if it was done to one candidate, than it must be done to another. Why is it of public concern for a congressional candidate, yet not for a presidental candidate?
It is stooping to the dims level, but sometimes you must.
Go baby go!
What's good for the goose...
Just another thing Republicans will be beat up over -- just watch! I can hear the talking points now.
Theres no guarentee that they will even find anything of substance. I think there is more traction to be gained if the request is denied. If it is made public that Ryans files were opened and JF'nK's were denied, it will make people distrust the liberal judges/media even more - and hopefully add to the distain of Ketchup boy.
Unfortunately, his medical records, military records and Theresa's tax records are private and cannot be released without their consent, but the media should be asking for them.
This is a start, at any rate, but I hope they're not bad enough to force him off the ticket, just damage him, because W appears to be in trouble if there is a Dem. candidate with any charisma.
Aren't all sorts of records in civil litigation sealed from time to time?
Liability cases (product, medical, etc.) that settle after the trial has started but before they get to a jury often contain agreements that the parties will seal the terms and not discuss them further.
