JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) — Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has appointed a state judge who once served on the board of Planned Parenthood to the state Supreme Court, against the urgings of a conservative group who claimed the pick would put "another activist" on the court.

Anchorage Superior Court Judge Morgan Christen, 47, will be the second woman to serve on the state's high court. Former Gov. Tony Knowles appointed current Chief Justice Dana Fabe in 1996. Christen was one of two judges recommended for the post by the Alaska Judicial Council, an independent citizen's commission that evaluates judicial appointments for the governor.

Palin said she had "every confidence that Judge Christen has the experience, intellect, wisdom and character to be an outstanding Supreme Court justice." But the Alaska Family Council, a conservative Christian group that advocates against gay marriage and abortion rights, had said Christen was the more liberal of the two choices. Palmer Superior Court Judge Eric Smith was the other applicant.

The group said Smith would be more inclined "to turn back the tide of activism" while Christen would side with other justices against laws like the one struck down in 2006 requiring girls 16 and younger to obtain parental consent to receive an abortion.

Exactly.

This bunch can’t hack it that their boy Obama has tanked before his first 100 days.

Christen, 47, was born in Chehalis, Washington. After attending colleges in England, Switzerland, and the People’s Republic of China, she received a bachelor’s degree in international studies from the University of Washington in 1983, and a law degree from Golden Gate University School of Law in San Francisco, California, in 1986

True, but that doesn't change the fact that Christen was never on the board of Planned Parenthood. And the Alaska constitution says the governor must select one of the two candidates submitted by the Alaska Judicial Council. And Palin's predecessor tried to refuse to select one of the two and was slapped down.

Sorry, noob...the story has been debunked many times today.

[SoCalPol]

So you would have chosen Smith, the more liberal
and an EcoWacko.

Between the Marxist Obama posters and the anti war, 9/11 Truther Baldwin, L Ron Paul posters who are Obama’s best friend, interesting to see all the useful idiots.

Careful Gina, Sarah is the new protected class here. LOL

[patriotmediaa]

logical fallacies.

[GLDNGUN]

you are a f-—k NUT

Off your meds again? This smear against Palin was already debunked earlier today.

Go to the store and BUY A CLUE. You are obviously out.

[GLDNGUN]

I pray that the Republicans will not throw another idiot like Palin at us for President. Why must we have idiots like Bush, Obama, or Palin as president? Why can’t we have smart guys like Sessions or DeMint for president? I am really starting to think that there is a council of elders that are running the USA and they put a puppet figure head in charge while they (the council of elders) are really running the show.

Idiot? What are you talking about?

[GLDNGUN]

GET YOUR FACT RIGHT

We have our facts right. The AFC said it was a complete guess that the other guy would be more conservative. A COMPLETE GUESS BASED ON NOTHING. Meanwhile, Gov. Palin requested more information and background info on the 2 finalists than any governor in the state's history had requested for a court nominee.

There's plenty more, but I'd rather torture you 1 post at a time since you're too busy making an idiot of yourself to do a little research.

[GLDNGUN]

Notice how the rats scurry away when the lights get switched on?

[Rome2000]

No No, the LAW only applies to the right.

Palin should be working towards taking AK out of the union.

Useless.

Heh Heh Heh

You’ve got that right. This has been an entertaining thread, have to keep coming back and checking it. :)

[SoCalPol]

How true.
Some folks can’t take the truth or be exposed

[SoConPubbie]

An ex board member from Planned Barrenhood? There must be some type of explanation for this. If not, she's done in my book.

There have been multiple, LONG threads where this CRAP has already been debunked today.

You might want to read through them as they are very instructive.

With regards to this latest LIE, the organization in question, when Christian was a member of it, was not part of Planned Parenthood and did not support Abortion. It was 10 years later that the organization became part of Planned Parenthood.
