Hazlett plagiarized Tiller in complaint against Kline
The ethics trial to disbar former Kansas Attorney General and Johnson Co. District Attorney Phill Kline has begun.
Operation Rescue’s Cheryl Sullenger actually got into the courtroom (only 16 seats) and is live-tweeting from there. NRO’s Kathryn Lopez has written a must read overview of the corrupt politics involved in this witch hunt.
The other side’s point man, KS Supreme Court’s appointed Disciplinary Administrator Stanton Hazlett, is not very original.
In the formal ethics complaint he filed against Kline in January 2010, Hazlett basically plagiarized Wichita late-term abortionist George Tiller’s 2008 motion to dismiss Kline’s case against him.
In other words, Hazlett is bringing the same charges against Kline as the man who Kline was prosecuting for committing illegal late-term abortions. Suspicious much?
Hazlett’s bias is obvious, and his bootlegged complaint is no more original than a 7th grader’s.
But most importantly, a judge summarily dismissed Tiller’s motion in February 2009! Futhermore, don’t forget an exhaustive independent report – commissioned by Hazlett – also cleared Kline of ethics complaints back in 2008.
Following are powerpoint slides Kline will have entered into evidence today. The top quote on each slide is from Tiller’s 2008 motion to dismiss and the bottom quote is from Hazlett’s 2010 formal complaint against Kline. Click all to enlarge…

many prayers for him
Wow. Who knew pro-aborts played Complaints like Pokemon cards?
By the way, Bernard Nathanson died this morning at age 84, according to news reports.
Thanks Joe.
My first education of the horrors of abortion was watching Nathanson’s “Silent Scream” in a Catholic church right around 1975.
Seeing that poor little child ripped apart broke my 15 year old heart.
It’s awesome that he made his peace with God and was a faithful soldier fighting against the evil of abortion.
God’s redemptive grace is just too cool.
I’m glad Nathanson lived to see PP almost defunded. May he rest in peace.
