FAIRBANKS -- A judge ruled today that the Fairbanks North Star Borough must release personnel records of Senate candidate Joe Miller.

In an unusual Saturday hearing, retired Superior Court Judge Winston Burbank ruled that the public's right to know about candidates outweighed Miller's right to privacy.

Burbank ordered no release until at least Tuesday, however, to allow Miller to appeal the decision to the Alaska Supreme Court. Some of the documents will be redacted, he said.

The case was brought by a group of Alaska news media organizations, who have been trying since summer to see borough documents concerning Miller's employment as a part-time borough attorney.

Miller, the Republican nominee, fought the release, arguing that any release of personnel records violated his privacy rights

Among the documents being sought are details of his resignation from the job last year, and any disciplinary actions taken against him while employed. Separate lawsuits were brought by the Alaska Dispatch and Fairbanks Daily News-Miner. The Daily News and Associated Press joined, and the suits were combined. Among the arguments for release was that the state Supreme Court, in earlier cases, has ruled that candidates for office expose their private lives to public scrutiny.

Judges in Chicago got his opponents divorce records unsealed when Hussein ran for the Senate.

I hope the GOPer goobers are paying attention and taking notes. This is how you “win” elections. Accuse your opponent of something. Anything! By the time it’s cleared up, the election is over and you are the “winner”. This is how the commie ‘RATS finally got Ted Stevens.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Maybe the lawsuit about Obastard’s records should be in this judge’s court.

[Williams]

Gee why do you think av judge would go out of his way to hold a Saturday hearing?

Just disgraceful.

Quick story : I had a judge call my client into an emergency hearing on the last day before the judge retired, to force my client to sign a contract the dem connected opposing party wanted! The judge yelled screamed & threatened but had to admit he had no legal authority to order it. After the hearing the judge says to the dem lawyer “oh I have to talk to you abt something else” & they disappear into the judge’s chambers!

Has Soros bought off judges too?

Miller needs to go to a real court and find a real judge, ASAP!!! A crime is being committed here.

[devolve]

.

His is what Obama did to Ryan’s sealed divorce documents in Illinois -

Waltzing Obama into the US Senate with no viable opposition

[Cheerio]

And where are the judges regarding Obama’s records?

Precisely - can no one else see the hypocrisy of the Judicial branch between the RATS and the Conservatives? I hope Miller has the resources to fight this as far as he has to take it - and not take his eye off the election ball during the next 10 days.

I guess its time for the birthers to try this judge out too. lol.

Because Obama is a Holy Man his documents are sacred, and immune from release.

[Clump]

No joke. We don’t have any of bozos records at all!!!!

[Perdogg]

I surmise from Miller’s lawyer that to appeal this ruling would probably be worse than letting the records go. I didn’t get the sense from the article that the Miller campaign was too concerned about it, as unfair as it may seem.

[potlatch]

[the public’s right to know about candidates outweighed Miller’s right to privacy. ]

They have no shame, do they! They do this stuff only when it is a gain for them, otherwise they would raise he77 if done against them. Release Obozo’s records!

Lol, I had just browsed this thread before I saw your ping.

[kingu]

Sorry, I disagree, there shouldn't be any right to privacy of any document made by a city, state or federal agency. They work for us, and I have never heard of an employer being forbidden the opportunity to read a personnel file. The crock is that any of this requires a judge, or apply solely to Republicans.

[MichaelCorleone]

“How does a RETIRED judge make a ruling?”

Good question. Something stinks here.

[ASOC]

LOL

It is NOT about Miller

or even the (D) or (R) behind your name

When Big Money talks, everybody must listen.

And Big Money just cleared its throat

*************

I would like to introduce hizzoner to this Kenyan-born Alinskyite....

Judge Burbank...
...Please make the acquiantance of Barry Soetero...

It is logically assumed that he was born outside of the USA -- making him Constitutionally ineligible to serve in his present elected office.

His several law firms have spent over 4 million dollars hiding the evidence and turning away challenges to these facts; no a single case has never been heard on the merits.

Even a military court-martial has recently & blatantly violated the rights of a career Army officer in order to avoid hearing and ruling on these legal premises.

Invoking the scintilla rule...
Whereby the first small bits of evidence--the "first sniff" -- provides a likelihood that a greater latitude of discovery will make the case complete.

Isn't "the public interest" in play here?? Don't we habve a right to know if the man signing legislation into law is lawfully qualified to do so??

*****************

****************

The Court should hear this case... and find in favor of those challenging Soetero's legitimacy in office.....

--AND--

LOCK HIS LYIN' SORRY ATTITUDE UP FOR A LONGGGGG TIME!!!!!

Thankyewwwwwwww......
