Alaskan court orders go-ahead on Palin probe
Calcutta News.Net
Thursday 9th October, 2008
The Alaskan state Supreme Court has refused to halt an ethics investigation into Governor Sarah Palin, the Republican vice presidential nominee.
In its ruling, the Supreme Court refused to block the legislative investigation but did not immediately explain why.
The decision means a report into whether Palin abused her power by firing her public safety commissioner can now be finalized and released to the public.
The report may prove to be an embarrassment for Palin and John McCain, as the presidential campaign moves into its final days prior to November elections in the US.
A government-appointed panel has been investigating whether Palin abused her power to settle a family dispute.
Her former public safety commissioner says he was dismissed after resisting pressure to fire a state trooper who had gone through a rough divorce from Palin's sister.
Palin’s husband has also been investigated in the incident, as have some top aides to the governor.
Republican lawyers had tried to block the report, concerned it could be too sensitive to be released prior to the presidential election.
They argued before the state Supreme Court this week that the legislative inquiry should be shut down and the report not released.

Alaskan court orders go-ahead on Palin probe
If the Clintons could shrug off the Whitewater scandal, and a few deaths that seem to follow them...then Palin’s firing of someone is laughable. Hell, my grade school principle abused his power in oh so many ways! Get off Sarah Palin’s back. Give the woman a chance before you talking heads destroy a good American> It’s been so long since you’ve seen a good American, you just can’t deal with an honest politician. Go Sarah!

Palin on a Red Flag day
Not sure i would like her being too close to big Red buttons (aka nukes) on a bad Red flag day (periods).. Seems like she is not shy of using power to suit her own needs rather than those of the people.. Still, if wee look at what many amercian voters have voted for in the past and support in their own corporations .. no surprise if she gets in

What a pleasure
It is time that the America people have opened their eyes and seen what Republicans really are. a bunch of fanatical lying Christian Taliban white elitist, who hat the thought of any minority getting ahead in this country. they are promoting white birth just to keep power, and no other reason. Well guess what fuck ups, its the minority rule from now on and it will be socialist and in the advantage of the poor and the middle class, at the total expense of you. I am sure that even the dumbest of this country will never again make the mistake of Bush and his cronies. In fact his epetath of this idiot president, will be the total demise of the Republican party in America, thanks to little Bush.
