State employees won't testify in Troopergate
Republicans are continuing to try to stall or halt the investigation into Sarah Palin's firing of Alaska's public safety commissioner. The latest move may be the boldest one yet.
Tuesday, in a letter to Hollis French, the Democratic state senator who's overseeing the investigation, Alaska Attorney General Talis Colberg said that 10 state employees who were subpoenaed last week will refuse to testify unless the full state Senate or full state Legislature votes to compel them to. (The subpoenas were requested by the lead investigator, former prosecutor Steven Branchflower, and were authorized by the Senate Judiciary Committee, which French chairs.) Colberg, a Palin appointee, asked that the subpoenas be withdrawn.
Also subpoenaed were three people who are not employees of the Palin administration, including Todd Palin, Sarah Palin's husband.

... because in 2008 USA, the rule of law is practically meaningless. Laws are made to be broken, or ignored. Respecting the law is now "old fashioned."
And thanks to the Wimp-o-crats controlling both houses of congress these last two years, subpoenas issued by government reps no longer need to be obeyed.
Great.
Why did Palin agree to cooperate with the investigation, and now refuses to cooperate?
How's that for spin?

She's pulling a Rove ...
Rove's lawyer says he'll testify then backs off his statement and Rove still hasn't testified.
This is what Repiggy's do they break and avoid the law.
It's outrageous !!!
