Palin Won't Be Subpoenaed on Trooper-Gate
Zachary Roth - September 5, 2008 - http://tpmmuckraker.talkingpointsmemo.com/2008/09/palin_wont_be_subpoenaed_on_tr.php


Even if she refuses to testify voluntarily, Sarah Palin will definitely not be subpoenaed as part of the Trooper-Gate investigation, Rep. Jay Ramras, a Republican on the committee overseeing the probe, just confirmed to TPMmuckraker.

Ramras said that issuing a subpoena for a vice-presidential candidate "would be disrespectful." He called it "inappropriate conduct, given the unique political circumstances," and "bad form."

............. Hollis French, the Anchorage Democrat who heads the committee .... announced this morning that the committee, made up of 8 Republicans and 4 Democrats, will vote September 12 on whether to issue subpoenas to other witnesses.

1. why? because she's special!

[ShortnFiery]

2. The fix is in. With a corporate ruled press, nobody will take them to task.

It will not ever end UNTIL we break up the BEAST that is the Corporate M$M.

5. Exactly.

[DaLittle Kitty]

20. PRECISELY! FASCISM CAN HAVE A PRETTY FACE AND SHE IS ON THE MARCH!

[Why Syzygy]

3. Is that why they let Bush get away

with war crimes? It would be DISRESPECTFUL? THUGS!!

[Riddler]

4. Republican = Above the Law. Just more of the same bullshit from the party of corruption

[Gman]

6. Well, there's one way to avoid an ethics investigation

get nominated as a GOP VP candidate since all Republics are above the law anyway.

[L. Coyote]

8. Ding, ding, we have a winner! This really adds to the "Reformer" cache!!

With a HUGE, "Reform this."

7. This is fucking ridiculous! NO "inappropriate conduct" is what she's accused of!

What is WRONG with these people? Oh wait, they're republicans. Where is the media on this? Oh, I forgot, the "pundits" are just paid off mouthpieces for the GOP. What about the Democrats? Oh, I forgot, we're the nice people that always take the high road and trust that justice will be served. We saw how well that worked out in 2000.

9. This bullshit has that Karl Rove smell all over it.

[nini]

[Spider Jerusalem]

12. Wrong lady; I think you mean this one.

[nini]

13. both.. but justice definitely

:-)

[Chloroplast]

11. Please, I remember how they treated a sitting President 12 years ago. So much for 'disrespect'.

[lady raven]

19. BINGO

I was just thinking the exact same thing. I can smell the hypocrisy from Oklahoma.

[usregimechange]

14. Define justice

[kurth_]

15. To respect liars is to honor their lies

[barack the house]

16. They always find a new way to shock me. Come on America Obama/Biden is the answer.

[pleah]

17. Damn it, subpoena her ass already!

Her hands are covered with dirt.

[AtomicKitten]

18. Not issuing and enforcing a subpoena would be disrespectful of all Americans and the Constitution.

ENOUGH!!!

[glitch]

21. Dealing with our silly peasant laws would hardly be deferential, now would it? nt

[nichomachus]

22. Sarah Palin

as vice presidential candidate is disrespectful to the American people. We deserve candidates who are qualified. Putting this idiot up for president (which she has a better-than-even chance of becoming) shows absolute contempt for voters and the democratic process.

She talks about the Founding Fathers -- they must be rolling over in their graves. They never, in their wildest nightmares, dreamed that someone like Palin would become president.
