TOPEKA, Kan. -- The Kansas Supreme Court refused Thursday to intervene
on behalf of two abortion clinics in a dispute with the state attorney general
over patient records that were leaked to "The O'Reilly Factor."

The clinics had asked the court to seize the records of 90 patients from Attorney
General Phill Kline and appoint a special prosecutor to investigate how Fox News'
Bill O'Reilly got access to abortion records for a Nov. 3 broadcast.

The court offered no explanation for its ruling in a one-sentence order signed
by Chief Justice McFarland.

The ruling means Kline, a Republican, can continue his investigation, refer potential
cases to county prosecutors or file charges himself before leaving office Jan. 8.

1. And That's What's the Matter With Kansas

Corruption, fascism, and unConstitutionality. Speaking of which, hope they bump it to the Supremes.
We need more reasons to impeach and remove them, too.
