Troopergate Heads to High Court
October 04, 2008 1:44 PM
The Alaska Supreme Court will hear an appeal from Republican state lawmakers looking to block their legislature's investigation into Sarah Palin and "Troopergate," the Associated Press reported.
A Superior Court judge threw out their suit Thursday, along with a suit filed by the state attorney general which sought to dismiss subpoenas against several Palin aides and administration officials. It is not clear if that attorney general will try to join the appeal, according to the AP.
The Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in the appeal next Wednesday, the wire service reported.

Why is this not in the news? Is this a cover-up?

Let the truth come out. If there was abuse of power, then the public has a right to know. Good or Bad. As I voter, I would like to know.

Palin requested the investigation, what a phony! Stonewalling already, shes a good Republican!

Why the hush-up and attempt to derail this part of a public official's record? Some reformer!

You can actually buy JaneSixPack or SarahSixPack and turn them into political, humor or whatever info sites. Ain't the Internet grand?!

If you had done nothing wrong or illegal why would you be trying to stonewall an investigation? Wouldn't you want the voting public to know you had done the right thing? IF that is...

wow--4 posts so far and no Palinophiles. I am so surprised. Won't be lond now before they show up and start bashing everyone as "sexist" and left-wing nutobs for asking for the same kind of review/oversight job that they all screamed was due Bill Clinton.
Wahhh...Wahhhh. They are so mean to Josephine Six-pack!
And you know what? Say what you want, call me a mean-spirited liberal. I don't care. Most posts I see it's generally ol' Bubba writing incoherently, calling us names, threatening us, etc. I just got here first.

Why isn't Senator Obama on trial or under official investigation for his high crimes or misdemeanors with Rezco, Ayres, and his other socialist, muslim extremists or other sordid criminal friends and terrorist pals? The answer is in you--you only see the worst in your opponents because you choose to do so. Why don't you seek the best in both sides? Because you don't really like Barack or Joe very much--not as much as you verily hate George W. Bush and his team. Sadly, you may learn that conducting a political campaign solely on hatred may not be enough to win. You need to pick someone you truly admire to support. Not simply the first everyman available to you.

Lets see, a Republican elected offical ignoring supoenas and thumbing their nose at America's legal system.
Havent we already seen this movie?
8 is enough!

Yeah okay Sara. . . . didn't you say you were going to bring transparency to Washington?
I guess anything goes, as long as it doesn't involve you.

Maybe Palin considers Troopergate her biographical asterisk like McCain, whose asterisk was his role in the the last major financial bailout as one of the Keating Five.
Posted by: Kram | Oct 4, 2008 6:42:23 PM
She's hiding something. Mcdumb must know that there is something they want to keep from the public.

Let's see now: Rove refuses to obey a subpoena, now Palin and her aides do the same thing. Straight out of a Karl Rove playbook!
Posted by: SilverFoxUna | Oct 4, 2008 7:06:14 PM
We had better know all the truth of the matter before she may become our vice president we don't need no more of another bush

McCain and Palin accused the TROOPERGATE investigation as "politically motivated". Well, if Palin has nothing to hide the more she should cooperate with the investigation now. If it turned out she's clean as she insists she is then, that will be a huge political windfall that could win her and McCain the election. Therefore, my advice to Palin - get politically motivated too and stand up to defend your honor.

She is as "real" as a $3 dollar bill. She is just barely literate and I would not buy a used car from her. If we elect her and her running mate-#894 out of 899 in his NA class--we will deserve the awful government we will surely get. This pair are the dumbest I've ever seen run for the two highest offices in the land. Do you want Joe and Josephine "Six-Pack" running the country?

Sarah Palin talks how she would change Washington as the new blood,as the outsider; but how is she going to change Senator McCain the old blood the insider who is a Washingtonian unless he is born again.
Posted by: fikre | Oct 4, 2008 10:42:53 PM
Shouldn't they also be investigating her illegal use of no-governmental e-mail communications?
