Orie-Zappala War: Shots At The Eastern Front

Chief Justice Ronald Castille has fired a remarkably direct (among the enrobed) shot across Justice Joan Orie Melvin's judicial bow, suggesting events have constrained her recusal prerogative with respect to Pennsylvania Supreme Court cases considering prosecutions involving Allegheny County District Attorney (and big-game Orie-hunter) Stephen A. Zappala Jr.

Can anyone provide links to the Chief Justice's public oration concerning the ethics of district attorneys' (1) public declarations of innocence (despite all appearances) involving family members before any investigation has concluded, or (2) promotion of undeclared interests with respect to real estate development projects involving public funds, or (2) investigations of family members revealed to have failed to disclose financial and/or lobbying interests associated with the gambling industry?

another apologist for Republican criminals-you do realize a Grand Jury told the D.A. to bring charges, don't you?

when th next Orie is charged in Harrisburg which Democrat will you blame it on then?

This is a Democrat site.
Search "palin" on it.
Not sure why the sudden love for the Orie's, but definitely a Democrat site.
