If you remember 0bama’s campaign had his opponent’s divorce papers unsealed and it contained the candidate’s wanting his wife to go to a swinger’s club with him. It destroyed the guys career.
If this happened in Illinois, I am guessing that Illinois must not be a no fault divorce state and that some kind of grounds has to be named. Wouldn’t really want to speculate on what those grounds might be.
I hope the Romney campaign denounces this when it comes out. I hope they are in the dark as much as we are. I am not really in favor of this garbage coming out because of the potential damage to the Obama girls.

LOS ANGELES - Dealing a blow to the U.S. Senate candidacy of Republican Jack Ryan, a California judge ruled that several sealed divorce records likely to embarrass the candidate and his ex-wife should be opened to the public.
Ruling on a request brought by attorneys for the Tribune and WLS-TV, Superior Court Judge Robert Schnider acknowledged that the resulting publicity from the disclosure would be harmful to the couple's son, a key argument Ryan had raised in seeking to keep the documents from public view.
But Schnider said he had weighed the public interest of disclosure against the private interests of the Ryans and their child. "In the end," Schnider found, "the balance tips slightly to the public.
"They were aware they were in a public court system and protection from embarrassment cannot be a basis for keeping from the public what's put in public courts," said Schnider, referring to Ryan and his ex-wife, actress Jeri Lynn Ryan. Additionally, Schnider said, "the openness of court files must be maintained, so that the public ... can be assured that there is no favoritism shown to the rich and the powerful."
The judge did not elaborate on the nature of the allegations.
