Lawmakers sue to stop 'Troopergate' probe of Palin
By STEVE QUINN – 1 hour ago
JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) — Five state Republican lawmakers want a judge to stop an investigation into Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's firing of a public safety commissioner.
A bipartisan oversight committee had unanimously approved an inquiry into whether Palin, now the Republican vice presidential nominee, dismissed the commissioner because he wouldn't fire her ex-brother-in-law, a state trooper.
In Anchorage Superior Court on Tuesday, three state representatives and two state senators sued to stop the investigation. Palin had said months ago that she welcomed the inquiry. The lawsuit called the investigation "unlawful, biased, partial and partisan."

way they can try an pull the fake outrage card again.

3. a lawsuit brought by five republicans for a biased inquiry?

now that's what I call biased, partial, and partisan.

Funny how that kettle don't know its own color.

4. What are they trying to hide?

How about some transparency! If the investigation is stopped there will always be a cloud hanging over anything she does in the future.

Open the investigation, expedite it to clear her name.


Unless they are trying to cover up her inappropriate actions as Governor of Alaska.

6. At this point I believe the question is, what AREN'T they trying to hide.

5. The funniest thing about that situation is that it was being investigated LONG BEFORE she was chosen

But Republicans lie lie lie lie lie.......

8. Right, and she's a pitbull, 'cept don't ask

her any tough questions, and she's a reformer, except when she isn't, and stop all investigations, 'cause that would be picking on her, and....

10. Who will be the appointed Judge?

I wonder who the presiding judge will be? What is his/her party affiliation and current leanings? Alberto Gonzalez went back to Texas right?

11. It doesn't matter - they want to stretch this out with appeals if necessary

They want to get this into the court system. If they don't get a favorable ruling, they'll probably appeal all the way to the Alaskan Supreme Court and make this last as long as possible.
