The paper is way to anti abortion. The newspaper has been far anti-choice for too long. Hopefully the paper will change to pro choice as a silent majority of citizens are.

Debbie,
Bullshit! Kline didn’t even request the clinic records on that case until AFTER Estrada pleaded guilty. As usual, you good christians are trying to steal credit for what you didn’t do. Exodus 20:16-17. Try to remember it!

Fact: Kline’s checking into abortion clinic records led to the arrest of Estrada whose incestuous relationship with two of his step daughters led to four pregnancies, including two abortions. He was convicted in October of 2006.

Has O’Lielly spoken a retraction or any story on Phill’s disaster in his doings?

Of course not.

The decision does nothing to ease the fears of the patients whose records Kline intentionally mishandled, and most likely distributed copies of to rabid anti factions: see for instance http://www.armyofgod.com/
The courts must make it crystal clear to Kline (and that may take some doing) that he will be held criminally and civilly liable to the fullest extent of the law if harm should come to any of those patients as a result of his betrayal of the public trust.

I don’t know, he gets to keep the records and use them in court. The lawsuit was to keep him from doing that.

So, since he still gets to use the records, I’m thinking that’s why he thinks he won.

I mean, that is, as long as the case was about the records and not about Kline. If the hearing was about bashing Kline, then he lost; if it was about the records, he won.

And each day he stole from the taxpayers who expected him to fulfill the obligations and responsibilities of his office.

Now he can go wherever he goes (WHO cares!?) and get someone other than taxpayers to finance his personal agenda.

“Rhonda, maybe you should read the comments of the dissenting justices.”

Why? Because they are more profound than the majority of justices on the court? Or, because their opinion reflects your own biases?

Fact: Phillip Kline used his position to pursue his pet cause of fighting abortion, a cause that first put him on the political map. Classic ends justifices the means, and the man didn’t even stop after the voters threw him out of the State AG’s office, he continued to his behavior in Johnson County.

Making sure …

“Irigonegaray says he wants to prevent Kline from taking copies of patients’ medical records with him after leaving the DA’s office.”

He could really be a big help defending the newly indicted Governor. The defendant would probably get the death penalty!

Klein was never born. He is a clone of Pharisee Phred Phelps and was the result of a botched biology experiment.

Where is his birth certificate? Why has it never been produced?

I am sure the spirit one church in Wichita would give him a pulpit to speak from or fred phelps would welcome him with open arms!

bth,

You are correct. The records garnered by the Johnson County DA’s office remain the “property” of that office, not of any individual.

The concern expressed by Phantom (and the additional copies you reference) are, IMHO, one of the reasons the final paragraph criticized by CJ McFarland appears in the opinion (along with the Kansas Supreme Court looking over the shoulder of the JoCo DA’s office to ensure compliance with the order).

Kline is as big an embarrassment and disgrace to Kansas as Bush is to the USA. A matched set?

I bet he’s already scanned them into his P.C.

Thank you counselor. A question: after Kline leave the DA office he will no longer (legally) have anything – is that correct?

Of course, there is still that little question about ADDITIONAL copies; such as those O’Reilly accessed.

And, Mr. Kline does still have the original records, as his office was only ordered to provide copies to the Attorney General (which, as accurately noted by CJ McFarland, was appropriate relief under the mandamus action, and not as a sanction).

By: avtolle

avtolle — Wed, 10 Dec 2008 14:12:27 +0000

I read the comments of the two concurring opinions, and note that in both cases, the opinions took issue with the “sanctions”, not the overall decision. I guess that provides some comfort to those who support Mr. Kline, but I suggest precious little.

Rhonda, maybe you should read the comments of the dissenting justices.

Maybe some wealthy congregation will give him a pulpit to continue his ministry. Finally, tax payers won’t need to support his mission.

Two words in the headline say it well: Kline weird.

Stick a fork in him. He’s done.

Exactly what I was thinking.

You can make a good living defending drunks, Phill. I would recommend that: sober people might not want your services.
