Lefkow Overturned

It's good to see that someone realizes the Constitution is there for a reason:

• A two-year legal battle to open up disciplinary records of Chicago police officers suffered a setback today when a panel of federal judges decided to keep the files secret -- denying an attempt by a journalist and 28 aldermen to open thousands of documents to public scrutiny.
  
  The fight over the files has unfolded amid a broader public debate about police oversight in the city, with some critics suggesting the files would reveal evidence of police department leaders ignoring rogue cops for years.
  
  But the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals decision came down to a simpler legal matter.
  
  The files had been exchanged as discovery evidence between parties in a federal misconduct lawsuit against eight police officers.
  
  But the files had never been formally placed in the case file. The three-judge panel ruled that legal precedents favoring public disclosure of court records do not apply to records not in the case file.

Of course, the lib-tards are screaming over this one. If they come here and expect to see their rant, they will be sorely disappointed. This is our echo chamber and as such, we decide what goes up. You can go over to the BreakingNews website and post your bullshit there. Ain't happening here. This was a good call by the Appeals Court.
