Judge Orders Miller Documents Released

A judge ruled Saturday that the Fairbanks North Star Borough must release personnel records of Republican U.S. Senate candidate Joe Miller.

In an unusual weekend hearing, retired Superior Court Judge Winston Burbank ruled that the public's right to know about candidates outweighed Miller's right to privacy.

"I hold that although Mr. Miller has a legitimate expectation of privacy in those documents, Mr. Miller's right to privacy is indeed outweighed by the public's significant interest in the background of a public figure who is running for the U.S. Senate," the judge said. He noted that U.S. senator is among the highest elected offices in the nation.

[Well, there is one office significantly higher, yet those documents remain tightly sealed and hidden from view.. but I digress --- Editor]

I disagree that Mr. Miller's records be released. I think that if Mr. Miller's records be released, then Obammie's records should be released as well....oh, I forget....that ain't gonna happen.
