Loading ...Judge to hear arguments in Palin ‘Troopergate’ case
10.01.2008 9:06am EDT
(Anchorage, Alaska) A judge in Alaska is set to hear arguments this week on whether he should halt an abuse-of-power investigation of Gov. Sarah Palin by the Alaska Legislature.
Anchorage Superior Court Judge Peter Michalski has scheduled a hearing for Thursday in a lawsuit filed by five Republican lawmakers. They say the investigation has been tainted by partisan politics since Palin has been nominated as the GOP’s vice presidential candidate.The legislators want to block the state Legislative Council’s investigation into whether Palin acted improperly when she fired Public Safety Commissioner Walt Monegan this summer. Palin denies that she pressured Monegan to fire a state trooper who had gone through a bitter divorce with her sister.
She did or she didn’t. That is the question. And if she is found guilty and it costs the repubs the election, so be it.
Just imagine what would have happened if Bush hadn’t saved scooter libby from jail. Scooter would have sang a hell of a song, and it would be the beginning of the real end of those who murdered over 4000 of our troops in Iraq, who let Bin Laden escape, who let the super-rich ruin our economy with their greed. And who stole the 2004 electioin in ohio.
Not sure how some of the articles on here of late figure into a GLBT focused web site – but I guess, with such intense interest on the election and its potential impact on GLBT rites going forward – it’s understandable. As for this story – this certainly sounds like more of the Bush legacy in action.
