The Public Records Act and Joe Miller’s Delete Key

Recently, we all learned a good bit more about ol’ Moose Poaching, Divorce Lawyering, Journalist Arresting, Line in Sand Drawing, Computer Hacking, Farm Subsidy Taking  Joe Miller (I could add more, but really….it’s a bit much as it is.

Joe Miller Says Federal Minimum Wage is Unconstitutional – Child Labor Next?

Tsk, tsk, tsk….has Joe Miller paid NO attention to the scribblings of the Legal Eagle? I suppose that he’s a bit too busy angering the Palins by refusing to state that Ms. Palin is qualified to be President to do something like learn about the law. As I am sure all of you good Mudpuppies [...]

By Legal Eagle, Esq. When I last put pen to paper, or fingers to keyboard (as it were), we were discussing Joe Miller’s preposterous assertion that somehow, despite the Alaska Constitution and the Alaska Statehood Act, that Alaska could take land back from the federal government – and then apparently start strip mining Denali National [...]
