Breaking News: Kansas Court Remains Closed
A Kansas court has refused to open the court proceedings in which Attorney General Phil Kilne (R) is attempting to access private medical records of patients at two abortion clinics. From the AP:
"The clinics' attorneys said they hadn't contacted any news organizations about the hearing, but Kline's chief deputy, Eric Rucker, acknowledged that someone in Kline's office might have. That statement caught Anderson's notice."
"At all times before this court, the attorney general has maintained that the investigation should be pursued out of the view of the media and with utmost respect for privacy of patients," Anderson wrote. "Thus, the court is perplexed by the apparent invitation to the hearing extended by the attorney general."
Is anyone surprised that it is Kline's office that is leaking to the media since the entire case is based on his lack of respect for personal privacy? Maybe if he loses re-election he can get a job at the NSA.
