Governor Lingle is sworn to uphold the law ...

Yes, but it could be argued that the Constitution of the United States (which she is also sworn to uphold) is the supreme law of the land, and therefore takes priority over Hawaii law when in conflict.

I haven't checked the specifics of the Hawaii privacy statute, but I'm sure there are exceptions under some compelling circumstances.

One comes to mind; if SCOTUS orders the release of the vault certificate for their perusal, it'll happen....but without the governor ever having seen it herself.

“...I’m sure there are exceptions under some compelling circumstances.”

Oh! Of course the Supreme Court can order that document, but they have to have an abiding legal reason to do so. In fact, they can even order ANY court case across the nation sent to them for a hearing.

The MSM has been misinformed about the cases concerning Obama’s eligibility at the Supreme Court: only the parts requesting a “stay” of elections has been denied. The “certiori” parts are being held onto, tightly, by SCOTUS.
