Does this help Levi?
Well it certainly can't hurt to have a judge that does not owe their position to the mother of the defendant.
By the way, as of this post, Bristol has still refused to return to the state with Tripp, despite there being a motion of contempt filed for her refusal to do so.
Brisket no-showing might get real interesting for her and the gang of miscreants she calls a family
ReplyDeleteI doubt it. Remember Tawd... "have you seen Tawd"? Was supeaneaed(sp)in Troopergate he was a no show, not a damned fucking thing happened to him. at. all.
DeleteMaybe she is pregnant AGAIN, and can not travel until the baby arrives?? Or, she thinks her mother will call in a favor from little Johnny McCain AGAIN. Maybe nobody has read the court papers TO her yet?
DeleteAn appropriate action in a court in Alaska when the Palin's are involved? How could such a thing happen? Oh my.
ReplyDeleteFrom what I heard, the judge was friends with Levi's attorney.
ReplyDeleteSomehow you seem to get a whole lot of information regarding intimate Palin business while living outside of Alaska. Palin Payroll?
DeleteThen maybe it was Bristol's lawyer that made the motion to recuse. It is one thing for a lawyer to be friends with a judge (I would think that the Alaska bar is a very close knit group with everyone pretty much knowing each other). Of course, it is another thing owing your job to the mother of someone doing business with the court.
DeleteAnonymous 2:06 is right. In fact the Johnston lawyer suggested this might happen.
DeleteHuh? Friends with? Every attorney knows every judge in such a small (population) state. That's not a reason for to recuse.

Yea, we must have a impartial judge or at least one in the PAYME pocket...duh!
I honestly don't know how you could hear anything, let alone correctly, what with your head jammed so far up the Palin family's collective ass.
DeleteYour weekly shampoo must be one hella interesting experience, to say the least...

@2:20 and KAO
DeleteWhat do you base your comments on? 2:20 can't possibly know where I reside. KAO, shame on you for making assumptions. I have had your back more than once. What on earth made either one of you think I was a Palin bot? Sheesh! Talk about getting carried away.
5:50
DeleteLots of that going on here lately. Welcome to the Mistaken Palinbot Club!
I hope Tripp finally gets some justice. Because this is about justice for a little boy who wants time with his Dad.
ReplyDeleteBristol does not get to drag that poor boy wherever she wants. I hope the judge holds her in contempt of court.
This can only be GOOD for Tripp!
ReplyDeleteI hope, that Bar$tool will get put in her pace ASAP, and that $he will have to return him to his dad SOON! I mean, he has been gone since the beginning of the year almost!
Someone should send the audio in the previous post to both Levi and Levi's lawyer. At the beginning of the tape, one of the radio guys says of Sarah, "Her and her daughter live in Scottsdale." This was before they even speak to Sarah Palin. It's common knowledge that Sarah and her daughter live in Arizona if the guy talked that way.
ReplyDelete"Her and her daughter?" Well, now we know the education level of that show. No wonder she called and that almost wet themselves.
DeleteGee, it's too back that there is no place in Alaska to study skin care. Poor Bristol had to travel so far away from home after all of her years of experience working for a dermatologist.
ReplyDeleteExactly. But Bristol is dumb enough to use that argument.
DeleteOne has to go to Arizona to become a certified pimple-popper? Who knew!
Deletebaby poppin'....more likely
DeleteBristol should be arrested for kidnapping.
ReplyDeleteBristol still refuses to bring Tripp back to AK? These Palins really must believe they are exempt from any laws of this world. Don't they ever worry about being caught? Do they care? Why do they always get away with everything?
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of children will they raise, that think it's OK to just disobey all rules and do whatever they want?
Stay away from these people as much as possible, that would be my advice.
No, she doesn't care. She learned from her mother that they can do whatever they want and not pay any penalty. She learned children are possessions to be used and exploited. She did not learn how to be a good person.
DeleteLet hope in this case, she learns what happens when you break the rules.
So even when the court tells her, she still won't show up?
DeleteWe ALL know what would happen if "regular" people, such as ourselves, tried this. We'll see what happens, but the fact is that Levi now has Sunny, who is much more pretty and intelligent than Bristol will ever be. Once again, who pays for it is Tripp. It will come back to bite her hard when he's older. Look at Track. Exhibit A.
DeleteDoes Alaska have an extradition treaty with Sandland? Will Joe Arpiehole do his part to enforce it?
ReplyDeleteDoes Tripp attend preschool yet? Isn't he old enough for that?
ReplyDeleteBecause residence/custody?
Or is it a Palin style homskul errly grajuwait type preschool thing?
Why don't you bother to check you state's DOE website for mandatory schooling - it will surprise you, I bet.
DeleteThe comment has nothing to do with compulsory education and everything to do with the fact that most kids (and especially a Palin spawn) can benefit from preschool.
Deletelol
Deletehomskul errly grajuwait = fonetic speling
fuk yoo
Here in the District of Columbia, every child I know (and all of mine) started preschool as a "two-morning two." That's, obviously, two mornings a week at age two, working up to five mornings by age four. Also, too, they could carry a real lunch box and attend Lunch Bunch whenever it fit family plans.
DeleteOf course, some kids I know were in full- or part-time day care, which was called "school."
Tripp appears to be devoid of social interactions with other children his age. And also, too: no religious education, which I point out only because his mother's family's fake piety makes me puke. They wouldn't understand any of my kids' religious education, since it requires learning another language beside college-educated-parents' English.
Yes MrsTBB that's why I asked. Usually you have to list a residence and the custody situation to sign up a child for preschool. So on and so forth. I guess probably no preschool at all for Tripp. Wonder what Levi thinks about that?
DeleteWonder what Sunny thinks about that.
Pretty sure I know what Grannie Palin thinks about it.
The PayMe's don't need "no stinkin' schoolin'" Look at the lifestyle grifting has them living!! I can hardly wait for the $$$ to dry up, and they ALL have to put that "hard workin', ethic " into practice.
DeleteThat was mighty nice of $arah to call in to the Arizona radio station just yesterday and confirmed that Bristol, and therefore Tripp, are there.
ReplyDeleteAre you paying attention, Levi?
The guys at the radio station said that she lives in there with her daughter. BRISTOL LIVES IN ARIZONA!
DeleteInteresting tidbits on Judge Smith. Apparently appointed by Gov. Knowles. "He was one of two finalists who sought appointment to the Alaska Supreme Court upon the retirement of Justice Warren Matthews on April 5, 2009. The other was Morgan Christen. The two nominees were selected by the Alaska Judicial Council out of a pool of six applicants for the position." (From Judgepedia).
ReplyDeleteInteresting history here:
http://www.adn.com/2009/03/04/711378/palin-bucks-pressure-in-supreme.html
I'd forgotten all this. How soon I've forgotten the wild ride we went through with Palin before she resigned in 2009!
BTW, other interesting tidbit...the infamous Joe Miller's wife was appointed by Palin to the Alaska Judicial Council.
I'm a little concerned that the anti-choice, uber-Christian Alaska Family Council pushed Palin to choose Smith.
Regardless, should be interesting to watch!
Also too:
DeleteThe infamous Dave Parker was appointed by Sean "Captain Zero" Parnell to the Alaska Judicial Council.
Don't forget that Joe Miller's wife, Kathleen Tompkins-Miller, was also appointed to the Alaska Judicial Council - by PALIN.
DeleteGeez. I didn't know that. Incredible how our local government is being infiltrated with right-wing, bible bangers. We all need to get activist fast before Alaska really goes down the toilet. Guess I've been around too long...I long for the 70's in Alaska even though we paid income tax and there was no PFD! At least we were a fairly blue state.
DeleteI'd love to see bristol get some new bracelets.You know the kind your wear behind your back and one of those haute couture orange jump suits also too.
ReplyDeleteNow we know why Sarah is all over the radio today. She is in deflection mode. On/Off ... On/Off ... depending how her family behaves any particular day. The bar is pretty low in that family.
ReplyDelete4:25 So are their morals!!
DeleteBristol has to hide in Arizona due to preggo condition? She'll be back as soon as condition stabilizes. (This is pure speculation, but with the Palins, anything is possible.)
ReplyDeleteHeh. That would be embarrassing for her to ave to show in court all knocked up again. "Look it's just like Dancing with the Stars"
DeleteShe must have given birth already then since she has been seen drinking and whoring around.
Delete5:12pm
DeleteShe was drinking and whoring around last August, perhaps that's where the pregnancy, if there is one, came from?
http://www.crazydaysandnights.net/2014/03/blind-items-revealed_4443.html
What happened to the baby?
DeleteWhat happened to Joey Junker, I thought he was the trial husband last Aug? Did he escape? Ask for a raise to watch Bristles and all her kids?
DeleteThere's a young single mother with a son Tripp's age a few blocks away from us. She's gone out of her way to keep the father in the son's life. She's also become a dental hygienist, owns a car, rents an apartment and pretty much stays out of trouble. The father married another woman and the difference it makes in this kids life is palpable.
ReplyDeleteThe adults get along fine, don't talk down the other parent, He hasn't always been up on his child support, especially in the beginning, but he's all caught up.
I wish the same for Tripp and his dad. Not to mention the entire Johnston family.
Why isn't Bristol in Alaska? Isn't there a clause that she can't take him out of state? I hope Levi's new lawyer is a good one and the judge does the right thing. I also hope Levi copies all her facebook and blog posts and has meticulous records of the reality shows and places Tripp's been. I have a feeling she's gonna play ostrich and close down everything because she's not smart enough to realize the ammo she's given Levi For Free!!
OT This is the sound cats make when mating (Fox and Friends, so there's a Lis Sammich.
http://crooksandliars.com/2014/03/fox-friends-hosts-deport-undocumented
Of course she's not supposed to take him out of state without Levi's permission.
DeleteSince when has any Palin believed the law applied to them?
Have been away from IM for a little while. Just saw the obituary in the March 19th Pittsburgh Post-Gazette for The Rogue author Joe McGinniss, who passed away March 10, 2014. May he rest in peace.
ReplyDeleteMy apologies if everyone already knows the following info, but out of curiousity I did some Googling on Judge Kari Kristiansen:
ReplyDeleteShe was appointed as a superior court judge for the Third Judicial District in Alaska by Frank Murkowski in November of 2006.
Two judges ruled that the 2010 custody hearings should be OPEN though the Palins pushed hard to keep them closed:
"Dec. 23 order from Judge Kari C. Kristiansen denied Palin’s motion to close the proceedings and opened the case file to public access, while an order issued the same day by Presiding Judge Sharon Gleason denied Palin’s request to use John and Jane Doe in place of Johnston’s and her own real names."
http://sarahpalintruthsquad.wordpress.com/tag/kari-c-kristiansen/
There was an immediate backlash to those rulings in the form of an angry Facebook post which, per Jeanne Devon/Huffpo, claimed Tripp was being treated as a "political football." It included both accusations of "Political Hanky Panky (sic)" in order to smear Sarah plus the two judges' home addresses and phone numbers:
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/akmuckraker/palin-supporters-encourag_b_412412.html
According to a post at then-Palingates, "It has been reported that Judge Kristiansen received death threats and had to be escorted by state troopers."
http://palingates.blogspot.com/2010/02/bristol-palin-v-levi-johnston-there-are.html
On the other hand, Kristiansen's custody ruling seemed in Bristol's favor:
"Kristiansen approved child support for Palin retroactive to the day the child was born. That amount still needs to be determined.
Bristol Palin is seeking nearly $1,700 a month in child support to care for their son, Tripp. She had asked for retroactive payments to the boy's birth, or $19,232 total. That does not include $4,400 Johnston has already paid in child support ... The court is determining the amount of child support based on Johnston's adjusted gross income, which is estimated between $100,000 and $105,000 ..."

Based on this cursory info, I can't tell if Kristiansen's recusal is good or bad for Levi.
Anybody ... ?
Googling Judge Eric Smith reveals:
ReplyDeleteHis resume at judgeopedia.org suggests that politically he's most likely fairly liberal:
1996-2018: Judge for the Third Judicial District
1986-1996: Sole Practitioner for non-profit agencies, native villages and environmental groups
1982-1986: Executive Director for Trustees for Alaska in Anchorage
1972-1982: Staff Attorney, Office of General Counsel for an Environmental Protection Agency
"He was one of two finalists who sought appointment to the Alaska Supreme Court upon the retirement of Justice Warren Matthews on April 5, 2009. The other was Morgan Christen. The two nominees were selected by the Alaska Judicial Council out of a pool of six applicants for the position. Republican Governor Sarah Palin appointed Judge Christen on March 4th, 2009."
However, according to the ADN:
"The head of the Alaska Family Council -- a Christian pro-family, anti-abortion group -- on Wednesday sent an e-mail to thousands of people asking them to urge Palin to pick Smith, not Christen.
The family council plea, from group president Jim Minnery, said Smith was 'more conservative' and that Christen would be 'another activist on the Court.' In an interview, Minnery said that was the 'general consensus' but he had no specifics.
The group didn't really approve of either finalist ,,, "
They were likely upset that Christen had been on the board of Planned Parenthood in the mid-1990s (though PP didn't begin providing abortions in Alaska until 2003).
http://www.adn.com/2009/03/04/711378/palin-bucks-pressure-in-supreme.html#storylink=cpy
From just a few minutes of researching, there didn't seem to be any "red flags" to suggest either Kristiansen OR Smith are in Sarah's pocket.
I REALLY hope not -- Levi deserves a fair shake!
How can Bristol ignore the court order? What have her lawyers said about why the no show?
ReplyDeleteHopefullly, she is not feeding Tripp a lot of lies and threats and worries and bribes and whatever she can think of to turn Tripp against his father. She is absolutely the worst mother, worse than her mother.
The post says there was a motion for contempt. It doesn't say the court held her in contempt.
ReplyDeleteI went to school with Kari Kristiansen and she was a very ethical person back then. I doubt very much that she's changed,
