Text of governor’s statement about Phill Kline

Topeka — The text of Gov. Kathleen Sebelius' statement on Attorney General Phill Kline's appointment as Johnson County district attorney:
With the overwhelming election of Paul Morrison as Attorney General - an outcome even more pronounced in Johnson County - the people of Kansas made a strong and unequivocal statement about Phill Kline's fitness for law enforcement and his pursuit of misguided, personal priorities in public office.
Out of a deep and enduring respect for the will of the people, I cannot approve of Kline's appointment as Johnson County district attorney by a small, narrow group of partisan political operatives.
I do not believe such a clear majority of Kansans rejected Kline's stewardship as attorney general with the intention of seeing him continue a public career in law enforcement paid for by taxpayers.
Since Kansas law treats my response to this decision as purely "ceremonial," I join the people of Kansas in hoping he conducts himself differently as district attorney than he did in his term as attorney general.

Dirty politics. ALL of the politicians have no clue about this little thing regarding the government for the people, by the people, and for the people. Phil Kline should be in jail for blatant disregard of court ordered gag orders, and his illegal tirade against clinics that offer abortions.
One would think that there could be something that could be done. Lawsuits, or federal appeals or something.

Good for her. Could a petition work to keep him out, or do they have to wait till he starts doing his “thing”. He and his cronies are arrogant gangsters, robbing the people of their vote. Just another way Philly dilly makes Kansas looks inapt.
