“Individuals who run for office expect that their past will be researched and revealed, and therefore, lose their previously held expectations of privacy,” Burbank said.

We need to get Obama into this guys courtroom.

[correctthought]

The democrats try to fix another race.

[WHBates]

It all sounds very strange, But we can’t get our hands on Obama’s BC, or school records, has any media type file suite in the Obama case. Strange very strange.

Jim Whitaker

A RINO who supports Bacrock Obama and even spoke at the DNC national convention. Eff him.

They snap their fingers, get a retired judge to meddle in an election, and then produce this smarmy, wordy, dishonest crap masquerading as journalism. The press routinely attacks Republicans down the home stretch of an election year, and then then forgets about it. That's intentional. They don't want anyone connecting the dots on these last minute smears and how often they happen.

They did it to Bush Senior in 1992, to Bush the Second in 2000, and but for Buckhead and FR would have done so in 2004.

But the GOP always rolls over. They never fight back. They never challenge these media pirates as corrupt referees.

[J Edgar]

It’s not strange, it’s judicial corruption, displayed in broad daylight for all to see, pure and simple. IMHO

[Steelers6]

How does a Retired judge make a binding ruling on anyone, let alone on Saturday. I wouldn’t comply with an order like this, Judge has no authority to make such a ruling especially one that is supporting Lisa Murkowski since Joe is running against her.

[Luke21]

It’s about time they started fighting this crap.

[4rcane]

all you’ll get is double standard. DEM privacy must be respected, GOP privacy don’t exist. We live in a society where some are more equal than others (Animal Farm)

"Individuals who run for office expect that their past will be researched and revealed, and therefore, lose their previously held expectations of privacy," Burbank said.

Birther!

“The public’s need to know is more compelling than Mr. Miller’s right to privacy since he is now a candidate for the U.S. Senate. Therefore, the documents should be released,” Burbank ruled.

This guy is Orly Taitz’s dad?

[Williams]

The judge’s decision is offensive to the rule of law.

Your private documents will be released because others want to use them against you, so therefore you have no privacy ....

What?????

Shouldn’t this include the other campaigns’ private memos, by the same logic?

[Luke21]

No one questions the timing here, the background of this “retired judge” or the motives of the people seeking this. This is a one sided sham, designed to influence an election. If a Republican dares raise any point about a Democrat, that official is ignored, impugned, castigated, harassed, or all of the above.

We should have a running dirty tricks thread this week, summing up all the bullets the Dems and their media pals fire at our candidates.

[skr]

What is it we supposedly need to know from these files? Somehow I’ve missed that particular detail.

[ncalburt]

why are you posted crap from this farrrrr leftwing blog and Palin hater central website.

The website owner is stalking Miller and is financed by a radical Lefty from DC !

Why are you giving this pro Lisa Muk/ Palin hater blog space here ?

[cherry]

lets hope that the good people of Alaska see this for what it is ...a desparate election manipulation by a ruling class loser...

I hope Miller uses this in his campaign....

[american_ranger]

This judge needs to be judged and retired.

[Spunky]

"Retired Superior Court Judge Winston Burbank...."

I don't get it. Is he retired from being a Superior Court Judge and is now a District Judge or some other kind of judge? Because if he is just a Retired Judge how can he order anything?

[skr]

Okay, I see it.
