As I understand it, the legislature is pretty narrowly Dem. Maybe they can get a few non-partisan Dems (if such exist) to bring a halt to this sham investigation. Palin is great for Alaska, and even a Dem has to be able to see that.
No, Alaska Legislature is not Dem, it is Republican. How do I know? My rep, John Harris, an R, was speaker of the house this past session. And Lyda Green, an R, was Senate Majority leader. I don’t think Dems have been in power in the legislature for decades.

The comittee voted 12-0 to start this investigation. Yes that's right, the 8 Republicans on the committee voted with the 4 Democrats. There are some Republicans that are very angry with her.
Why do these Senators have to go to court to get this investigation stopped? The Republicans have the strong majorities in both chambers. Can't they just call a vote or something? And can the Courts really stop the Legislature from exercising oversight of the executive? I wouldn't think so.
If this goes away soon I would keep an eye open for nasty attacks from these good old boy Republicans. This isn't just a Democratic hatchet job. She has some serious enemies up there.
