Sarah Palin claims to have values as a mooseburger-eating hockey mom, but Judge Suddock of Alaska's family court begs to differ. The current investigation of her abuse of power concerning the firing of a state commissioner for not bending to Palin's wishes to have him fire her ex-brother in law has exposed a new twist on the story. While she claims to have done nothing wrong and that there was no reason to suggest she'd conduct a personal campaign against her ex-inlaw with the power of the Governor's office, the facts prove her wrong. The facts even go back to before she was Governor.
From Newsweek:
An Anchorage judge three years ago warned Sarah Palin and members of her family to stop "disparaging" the reputation of Alaska State Trooper Michael Wooten, who at the time was undergoing a bitter separation and divorce from Palin's sister Molly.
Allegations that Palin, her husband Todd, and at least one top gubernatorial aide continued to vilify Wooten—after Palin became Alaska's governor and pressured state police officials to take action against him—are at the center of "Troopergate," a political and ethical controversy which has embroiled Palin's administration and is currently the subject of an official inquiry by a special investigator hired by the state legislature.[...]
Court documents show that Judge Suddock was disturbed by the alleged attacks by Palin and her family members on Wooten's behavior and character. "Disparaging will not be tolerated—it is a form of child abuse," the judge told a settlement hearing in October 2005, according to typed notes of the proceedings. The judge added: "Relatives cannot disparage either. If occurs [sic] the parent needs to set boundaries for their relatives."
So if she committed actions back then that warranted a statement such as that from a family court judge, how hard is it to believe that she would abuse the Governor's office to continue her personal vendetta? This is the woman that people are considering to be the Vice-President of the United States. To think that she has a shot of obtaining that office is absolutely sickening.
