Major news sources have misreported a Kansas Supreme Court decision in a case involving a county district attorney who is investigating allegations of malfeasance at Planned Parenthood. Reports have incorrectly claimed that the district attorney lost his case.
Several of the state’s Supreme Court justices accused their peers of using their power as a “platform” to denigrate the district attorney and to sanction him arbitrarily, while an ally of the district attorney has accused one justice of writing polemics meant for media consumption.
Though media sources indicated that last week the Kansas high court ordered Johnson County District Attorney Phil Kline to return documents to the state attorney general’s office, in fact he was only ordered to provide copies, LifeSiteNews.com reports.
Kline, as Attorney General, had brought 107 criminal charges against Planned Parenthood including charges alleging that illegal late-term abortions were performed and documents were falsified.
