Here's the judges thoughts to justify in releasing Ryan's divorce records to the public. Pretty damn flimsy.

I would cite this case in court as precedence against Obama to get to his hidden records. Just rewards and fair play and all.

Thanks for giving me the idea. :-)

"Ruling on a request brought by attorneys for the Tribune and WLS-TV, Superior Court Judge Robert Schnider acknowledged that the resulting publicity from the disclosure would be harmful to the couple's son, a key argument Ryan had raised in seeking to keep the documents from public view.

But Schnider said he had weighed the public interest of disclosure against the private interests of the Ryans and their child. "In the end," Schnider found, "the balance tips slightly to the public.

"They were aware they were in a public court system and protection from embarrassment cannot be a basis for keeping from the public what's put in public courts," said Schnider, referring to Ryan and his ex-wife, actress Jeri Lynn Ryan. Additionally, Schnider said, "the openness of court files must be maintained, so that the public ... can be assured that there is no favoritism shown to the rich and the powerful." -end snip-

IL, of course, is full of Combiner hack “judges.” Anti-Combiner Republicans don’t enjoy the “protection” corrupt Combiner rodents like the False Messiah do.
