Doug Brady on Alaska Judge's Smackdown of Andree McLeod

*
Doug Brady at C4P comments on Monday's decision by an Alaska District Court judge to deny Cloward-Piven practitioner Andree McLeod's appeal of a ruling denying yet another of her numerous records requests:

The Court's verdict has fully vindicated Todd Palin's role as a close advisor and First Gentleman or, as we've come to know him, First Dude of Alaska. None other than serial ankle-biter Andree McLeod and her left-wing attorney Donald Mitchell (whom the court chastised in subsequent footnotes for multiple rule violations), claimed that by copying Todd Palin in any government related email, the Office of the Governor "waived" the deliberative process privilege and that therefore all the emails should be publicly released.

Not surprisingly, The Court didn't buy this absurd argument and, in meticulously reviewing Alaska law, federal law, and the common law, resoundingly rejected Mitchell and McLeod's meritless arguments. They even went so far as to say that McLeod's team "ignored reality and common sense."

[...]

The Court concluded that "common sense and Federal law require finding that Todd Palin could properly have acted as an advisor to the Governor."

Doug observes that while it is common knowledge among Sarah Palin's supporters that ignorance of reality and common sense is a classic symptom of leftism in general and Palin Derangement Syndrome in particular, it is now duly recorded in the annals of the Alaska state judicial system.
