Jack Ryan Update: "What Kind of Pervert Wants Kinky Sex With His Wife?!"

I joked about it yesterday, but K-Lo at NRO raises a very interesting question:

Why did a California judge determine that the press had a right to paw through these divorce papers, when neither party to the divorce agreed to make them public?

Was it because the nation had some right to read uncorroborated charges made in the context of a child-custody dispute detailing alleged sexual behavior which is not illegal (and indeed is celebrated in some quarters)?

Or was it because Jack Ryan was a Republican candidate for office?

I suppose this is typical right-wing paranoia. We all know that judges don't have any partisan political biases.

No Time to Verify The Charges Update: NRO can't help noticing that the media seems to report first, verify later when it comes to Republicans. Democrats, of course, get the opposite treatment, and just coincidentally have rape allegations published only after the conclusion of impeachment hearings.

The difference between extra-marital sex and extra marital sex is not to be sneezed at. -– George Will (in an article that is actually about punctuation)
