Why did Palin name a pro-choice judge to the Alaska Supreme Court?[DU-like anti-Palin source]
Alaska Dispatch ^ | Feb 18, 2011 | By Craig Medred

At least one mystery from Sarah Palin's short reign as governor of Alaska appears to have been cleared up by claims made in a manuscript for a book proposed by former Palin aide and confident Frank Bailey.

Many have wondered why Palin, who professes to be pro-life, named to the Alaska Supreme Court Morgan Christen, who is pro-choice. The move took both conservatives and liberals by surprise in 2009.

Jeanne Devon is one of the co-writers of the book, regurgitating all the same trash that's already been thrown at the Governor.

There were only 2 choices presented to her by the Commission. Alaska has that “Missouri Plan” nonsense. Palin picked the least bad of the two. The other one was an across the board leftist wacko.

I have no problem with articles like this being posted because they will serve to keep us up to date and on our toes to respond to the medias attacks on conservatives. The problem I have though is with FReepers that knowingly post disproved and inaccurate articles in a desire to trash a conservative not to their liking. I am not saying that is the case here because I am unfamiliar with the posters history and do not have the time right now to check it out(big memorial service to go to).

No, Mr. K, I'd just prefer a more principled, more conservative candidate that doesn't have negative approval ratings over 50%.

I'm sick and tired of idiots like you attacking anyone that questions whether is the best candidate for the job.

Herman Cain and Michelle Bachmann are both INFINITELY BETTER candidates with a better chance of winning.

It's past time you stopped throwing around insults in order to stifle legitimate debate on who the best CONSERVATIVE AND PRO-LIFER is for the job.

Palin isn't even pro-life enough to support the concept that human life begins at conception. She has no problem with the morning-after pill being legal, for example.

Because it’s politics. You have two choices: learn to live with people you vehemently disagree with, or go to civil war.

At the least, this proves that she is not a theocrat.

If she loses social conservatives as her base, what has she got left in primary?

I respect your opinion as you should respect opinions on folks that like Palin and want to vote for her. Why should she not step in the arena as others should and will. We will see who wins. Can we not leave it to that. Why are we chewing up and spitting out our own before they even run?

Sorry, I like them both, but congresscritters and business people with no governing experience simply don't win their party's nomination let alone the presidency.

Your statement seems kind of empty with no reasoning behind it.

We did this back in 2009.

1. Judge Morgan Christen was the most qualified candidate

2. This was the alternative Palin chose against

And yes you can judge by appearences. Back then FR survey said he was a freakin' moonbat.

Hey PDSer troll! So you know that this allege book by Bailey was written by a Huffington Post writer and a known Alaska lib (Mudflats) and was leaked by the loon Joe McGinness....the guy that moved next door to Sarah and her family to write a hit-piece book. But that doesnt matter to you and since the guy has been backtracking on what he wrote Sarah said by saying that the book was subject to change.....but alas it doesn’t matter to you libs

I doubt that single-issue politics will be the deciding factor in the anti-Obama vote. There’s a lot of evil that must be stopped; Abortion is just one facet.

Have you read “Going Rogue” yet? From what I’ve read and observed I’m confident that if she sits in the White House she will apply the corrective measures in time.

Be patient.

Sure. No aide ever gets done working for a controversial politician and then writes lying claptrap about their time on the staff. Don Regan really was pushed out by Nancy Reagan because she hated him from day one, Richard Clarke really was the wonderful hero of the pre-9/11 intelligence community and could have stopped it all if they had just listened to him, yada, yada, yada.

I suggest the author look into how judge nominations are chosen/appointed in AK. Possible candidates are chosen buy the Alacka Judicial Council.

Can you give us any examples of Palin speaking out against the process in Alaska and demanding it be changed?

Medred is quoting a a former aide to Palin. I doubt he is misquoting Bailey.

Bachmann has spent more time in the House than Palin did as governor. And, not being corrupted by special interests most politicians are corrupted by might just be a good thing.

Palin is going to be attacked as a quitter that didn't finish her term so she could make a buck.

Oh, that's special. You post pure liberal claptrap and then whine about being attacked? Guess what - if you post crap like this, you DESERVE to get attacked.
