Kline Ethics Case Now with Kansas Supreme Court
Associated Press - Thu 12:45 PM 11/15/2012
The seven-member bench heard arguments Wednesday concerning how Kline should be punished for his actions during investigations of abortion providers.
The ethics case of former Attorney General Phill Kline now rests with the Kansas Supreme Court.
The seven-member bench heard arguments Wednesday concerning how Kline should be punished for his actions during investigations of abortion providers.
Five of the seven justices hearing the case are substituting for five justices who removed themselves from the case.
A three-member panel of the state Board of Discipline of Attorneys has recommended Kline's law license be suspended indefinitely.
Kline has strongly denied any ethics violations. The disciplinary panel contends Kline repeatedly misled or allowed subordinates to mislead others, including a grand jury, to further his investigations.
Kline was Kansas attorney general from 2003 to 2007 and Johnson County district attorney in 2007 and 2008.

These are alleged "ethics" violations. Who is it that sets that bar here? Mr. Kline did what he thought was right and was a champion for unborn Kansas Citizens. He should be commended for his actions rather than disbarred. Babies still in their mother's wombs were much safer when he was in office than for the next 4 years of liberal scandal in the KAG's office.

Yet right bob boozer he broke the law take his license away and toss him in jail for 10 years. I am tired of people in positions breaking the law because they believe they are above it.

Yeah...I agree with Iamgonnagetyou. Kline have to follow the law and proper investigations instead of blindly follow his personal beliefs and being overzealous.
