The anklebiters in Alaska have attacked Sarah Palin on a number of ridiculous grounds, many of which we have chronicled here at C4P. For example, see here and here. One of the more common accusations has been that somehow Governor Palin's reliance on Todd Palin as a close advisor was illegal or unethical. Indeed, one of the memes the LSM made is that Todd Palin was the "shadow Governor" or something simply because he provided input and guidance to his wife. Of course, the same lunatics making the accusation never questioned Hillary Clinton's close advisory relationship with President (and Governor) Clinton, and completely ignores the policy role Michelle Obama currently plays. Indeed the MSM has even gone so far as to say Michelle Obama "will join her husband in a partnership widely expected to transform the public face America presents to the world". As usual logic, decency and common sense are nonexistent on the left, and a recent court ruling confirms that. 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." Readers here have known for some time that the left in general, and these moronic anklebiters in particular, routinely "ignore reality and common sense". but rarely will you find a published court order confirming that as a matter of law. We will be framing this Court Order at the C4P headquarters, and perhaps selling commemorative coins to mark the occasion. The Court concluded that "common sense and Federal law require finding that Todd Palin could properly have acted as an advisor to the Governor."
How many thousands of dollars did McLeod and Mitchell cause the state to waste defending another frivolous law suit? Will the State of Alaska ask the Court to have the cost it incurred for defending itself against this latest frivolous case reimbursed. It's apparent to any fair minded person that the spouse of the governor historically provides guidance and advice to the governor. Not just Governor Palin's spouse, but the spouses of myriad governors before her, not just in Alaska but all other states as well. This most recent case by the deranged Andree McLeod and her useful idiot lawyer demonstrates exactly what happens when common sense, common decency and common law take a backseat to obsession and blind hatred.
