I wouldn’t be so sure. There are 11 Republicans and 9 Dems in the state senate, but 1 (Lyda Green) totally hates Palin and will vote for the subpoenas. At least one other Republican (Huggins) previously voted for the subpoenas in committee. Unless he changes his vote, the resolution passes in the state senate if all the Dems vote for it (which they will).
Yeah, but isn’t the investigative committee a joint committee? This means both the House and Senate would have to concur. Not only that, but they would have to call a special legislative session to do this, and everyone is out campaigning for election! I really, really don’t see this happening. Especially with Republican house members. They’re going to vote for a special legislative session to issue warrants to Palin’s staff because they refused a subpoena from a committee where French has said he wants to spring an October surprise on Palin? Ha! and double Ha! Not happening.
