ANCHORAGE, Alaska - Alaska's Supreme Court has refused to shut down an ethics investigation into Gov. Sarah Palin, the Republican vice presidential nominee.

The decision Thursday sets the stage for state lawmakers to release a report on their investigation Friday. The report could prove to be an embarrassment for Palin and a distraction for John McCain's presidential campaign in the final weeks of the race.

Lawmakers are 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 nasty divorce from Palin's sister.

3. um... is there any reason to believe this won't be hugely disappointing?

I don't mean to be cynical... I'm just wondering, have there been leaks suggesting that they've actually come up with a conclusion, or will they hold a news conference and shrug and say "it doesn't look good, but we can't prove anything"?
