The DNC needs to teach their boy, Chippy, how to “shop for judges”. LOL!

Or, if we had rational honest reporters, Leftist attempt at Judicial Terrorism against Palin dismissed as completely baseless

Thank God Alaska still has some judges rather then politicians in robes left.

I wonder how much this ludicrous, frivolous lawsuit cost the Palin family directly out-of-pocket. They were averaging roughly $50,000 each, the last I remember. And, towards the end of Palin’s governorship, these baseless lawsuits were being filed roughly once a week... all carefully calculated to bankrupt her and drive her from office. The lovely media kept up a drumbeat of “ethics charges against Palin” headlines, as well, designed to imprint the notion that she was the most corrupt politician living. Talk about being boxed in from all sides (and none in the damned GOP leadership spoke up or lifted a finger to help her). Still burns me the hell up.

How many does this make now ... 13 - 14 or more lawsuits she's had to defend against? The DNC parachuted in dozens of lawyers and "advocacy Journ-0-lists" to Alaska to dig for Palin gold when she dared run for the Vice Presidency.

Pro-America, Pro-Life, Pro Traditional Family, Pro-Christian and Pro-Capitalist. These qualities threaten the very fabric of leftism in America and the World today. I think she's a great lady. JMHO.

No free-speech issue: Judge tosses lawsuit targeting Sarah Palin

By Kim Murphy

September 28, 2012, 10:27 a.m.

It was a case of turning lemonade into lemons -- Sarah Palin-style, contends a self-described citizen lobbyist.

Chip Thoma, a longtime Alaska activist, said the former Alaska governor ordered her staff to destroy his reputation after he complained about the large number of tour buses driving by for a peek at the governor’s mansion.

Palin, he said in a federal court lawsuit, saw an opportunity to portray herself as a victim of his traffic complaints. She directed her staff to put out the word that Thoma was not only trying to drive her out of the governor’s mansion, the lawsuit contended, but had stooped to criticizing her daughter Piper’s lemonade stand -- a dagger Thoma insists he never threw.

The former governor’s real motive, he said, was to use him to explain why she was spending so much time away from Juneau; critics had suggested she shouldn’t be collecting per diem pay for living at her home in Wasilla, Alaska.

Though Thoma cited quotes purporting to be from Palin’s own emails to back up his story, a federal judge threw out his lawsuit on Thursday, ruling that the quotes weren’t admissible, and that Thoma’s 1st Amendment rights to free speech weren’t violated.

“Thoma chose to engage on a public issue, and although Thoma believes that he was insulted in response, this does not necessarily rise to the level of a constitutional violation,” U.S. District Judge Timothy M. Burgess said in his order. “Thoma remained free to express his opinion on the traffic issue -- he simply decided not to.”
