For those of you following the election and Supreme Court discussion, I'm posting information on Gov. Palin's first Alaska Supreme Court Appointment, Daniel Winfree. I have found the first opinion he issued, in May 2008.
He authored the opinion upholding the termination of a parent's rights to her child because of child abuse, saying the evidence in the record supported the lower court's decision. It was a pretty ugly case. I'm sure few people would have ruled differently.
Here's the opinion: http://weblinks.westlaw.com/Search/default.wl?RP=%2FWelcome%2FFrameless%2FSearch%2Ewl&n=1&db=AK%2DCS%2DWEB&method=TNC&query=TI%28%28%22Tessa+M%2E%22%29%29&RLT=CLID%5FQRYRLT172916308&RLTDB=CLID%5FDB162916308&search=Search&SP=AKCS%2D1000&spolt=Return+to+the+Alaska+Case+Law+Service&sposu=http%3A%2F%2Fgovernment%2Ewestlaw%2Ecom%2Fakcases&spou=http%3A%2F%2Fgovernment%2Ewestlaw%2Ecom%2Fakcases&ssl=n&strRecreate=no&submit=Search&sv=Split&tempinfo=case&title1=Tessa+M%2E&RS=WEBL8.08&VR=2.0&SPa=AKCS-1000
