Pro-Abortion Court Staffer Suspended After Attacking Phill Kline

The shocking “tweets” of a Kansas appellate court clerk during last week’s Supreme Court review of ethics charges against former Kansas AG Phill Kline have earned her a suspension, pending review, according to the Associated Press.

The Kline-denigrating tweets of Sarah Peterson Kerr (outed last night by Operation Rescue) reflect the culture of abortion corruption that has long plagued Kansas as well as a deep, dangerous and pervasive animus towards Kline among the legal authorities in this state.

1) The state’s attorney ethics division.

They are demanding a permanent revocation of Kline’s law license for what they portray as ethical violations during his attempted prosecution of child rape and illegal abortions, begun in 2003. (Read allegations and rebuttals at KlineCaseFile.com.) The charges were pursued even after their own investigative staff recommended they not do so and even after a panel (with questionable neutrality) recommended only a suspension.

2) The Kansas Supreme Court.

During one of their rulings in cases filed by abortion businesses to avoid criminal prosecution, the state Court held a unique internal trial of Kline, in which he was exonerated. Justice Carol Beier (who has lectured on how courts should be used to advance feminist ideology) was criticized by her senior justices, in essence, for her anti-Kline diatribe. The bias was so strong on the court that 5 members recused themselves from this hearing and a substitute judge at the hearing remains under a cloud (see detailshere).

3) Certain state prosecutors who consider abortion criminal prosecution “a career killer.”

The incident involving law clerk Herr is troubling on several levels. First of all, as an attorney, Herr is sworn to uphold a certain comportment and reserve, which conflicts with tweeting denigrating comments during a state hearing. She wore her badge in court, and it is assumed she was on state salary as she sent out various messages against Kline’s court responses and called him a “douchebag.”

But it also shows how deep the media-assisted pro-abortion and anti-Kline messaging has succeeded. Her tweets resemble those of a young pro-choice adult responding to Planned Parenthood propaganda; yet Herr is a highly trained attorney who is supposed to be able to read challenging legal documents, and edit legal submissions for the court. This is a person paid to “sift” through complicated documents and recommend legal pronouncements. Nevertheless, on Thursday, she tweeted in capital letters for emphasis:

“ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME. WHERE ARE THE VICTIMS? ALL THE PEOPLE WITH THE RECORDS WHO WERE STOLEN.”

Ms. Herr-no abortion records were ever stolen. Court-ordered medical files were legally obtained and protected—inordinately so. The victims of illegal late-term abortions and non-reported rape in Kansas were the focus of Kline’s actions.
