JUNEAU, Alaska - A federal judge on Thursday struck down claims in a lawsuit alleging that former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin acted to silence an activist who complained about traffic around the governor's mansion in 2009.

U.S District Judge Timothy Burgess granted Palin's request for summary judgment, finding that activist Chip Thoma failed to provide the evidence necessary to support his claims. Palin's attorney, John Tiemessen, said the ruling means that, as a matter of law, no valid claims stand, and it should lead to dismissal of the case.

Thoma sued for at least $100,000, claiming that Palin, while governor, undertook an effort to punish, embarrass, discredit and silence him after he complained about tour bus traffic around the mansion following her failed 2008 vice presidential bid.

Yep just most of the Judicial Terrorism Gov Palin was subjected to by the Progressive Fascist clown posse. Glad to see Alaska still has judges not politicians in robes

One of the side benefits of having coin is being able to hire damn good attorneys.

Good job, Governor.

We'd have to win enough that Soros, The Tides Foundation, The Heinz/Kerry Foundation, Peter Lewis (Progressive Insurance), etc., got tired of pissing their money away for no results.

Cheers!

Some people will sell their liberty for a very cheap price. Reminds me of the man who sold his inheritance for a bowl of pottage.

Oh come on - it's not the evidence, it's the enormity of the charge!
