Palin Moving to Block 'Troopergate' Subpoenas?

Bloomberg reports that the Alaska Attorney General's office is interfering with the legislature's investigation into whether Gov. Palin abused her office by firing Public Safety Commissioner Walt Monegan. While Alaska's legislature is controlled by the GOP, Palin's lawyers are nevertheless calling into question their authority and motivations and threatening to move to quash the subpoenas that legislators are expected to issue tomorrow.

But Jay Ramras, the GOP representative who chairs the Judiciary Committee, isn't backing down. "We have to prevent this because it is going to diminish the reputation of Alaska," he said.

This is serious business. How can we elect someone with all this abuse of power. There's just too much in her cut-throat way of politics for her to be in a position of possibly running the "free world". Let's not let this happen.
