Our old buddy Phill Kline has his defenders. But the ones he should be thanking the most are Kansas taxpayers. Regardless of your stance on abortion (is there any other issue in Kansas?), you're helping pay more than $500,000 in legal fees and expenses to defend the former Attorney General of Kansas and two of his underlings in ethics hearings, according to the AP.
And guess what? You're going to pay a whole lot more when Kline's ethics hearing resumes this summer.
Kline's prosecution of two abortion clinics is on trial in a state ethics
hearing that could lead to the Sunflower State's former top cop being
stripped of his law license, which is already suspended because Kline
didn't pay a $50 renewal fee.
The AP reports that, so far, the state has written some fat checks:
The state paid $200,023 in legal fees and $20,291 in expenses to the Overland Park-based Holbrook and Osborn law firm, which defended Kline during an eight-day disciplinary hearing earlier this year.But don't feel bad. Kline has claimed that he paid more than $200,000 of his own money so he could file appeals in an abortion case when he was Johnson County District Attorney. So you're not alone, Kansans.The state also paid $178,285 in legal fees and $4,929 in expenses to Kansas City, Mo., law firm Graves, Bartle, Marcus and Garett for defending Kline earlier.
The total for Kline so far is $403,528. An additional $125,959 went to lawyers to defend Kline aides Eric Rucker and Steven Maxwell, both of whom received informal admonitions in the ethics case. Both worked for Kline while he was attorney general and district attorney.
No decision has been made on the ethics allegations against Kline.

"Dead people are worth about $6 million these days"*

Hey Joe!
Seriously, what is the going rate for aborted baby brains? And what are you trying to compare? Apples to Apples or Aborted Baby Brains to YOUR RELIGIOUS BASED MORALITY? "Dead people are worth about $6 million these day according to traffic fatality accident insurance statistic" <----WHHHHHATT!!
Sounds like you parents would have been better off with taking the money for your aborted brains.
What's the price of baby brains that have been sucked out during an abortion on the market these days? Dead people are worth about $6 million these days (a traffic fatality accident insurance statistic.) I just wanted to compare, you know ...
