GOP lawmakers sue to stop Palin investigation

[margotb822]

JUNEAU, Alaska – Five Republican state lawmakers filed suit Tuesday to end the bipartisan investigation into Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's firing of the public safety commissioner even though the vice presidential candidate once said she welcomed the probe into allegations of abuse of power.

The lawsuit called the investigation "unlawful, biased, partial and partisan." None of the lawmakers who filed the suit in Anchorage Superior Court serves on the bipartisan Legislative Council that unanimously approved the investigation.

The scandal known as "Troopergate" gained national attention after Republican presidential candidate John McCain chose Palin as his running mate. Since then, Palin and the McCain campaign have sought to distance Palin from the controversy and have taken actions that could slow its resolution until after the November election

It seemed like such a good idea until she got picked to be VP. That, and the fact that she actually did wrong.

1. Unbelievable!!!! But it doesn't surprise me.

They (Republicans) must have realized that there really is a lot to this Troopergate business, and they didn't want it leaked to the public.

2. Wow. This investigation must be about to hit paydirt.

Why else would the McCain campaign and Palin's henchmen be trying so hard to derail it? This could be a real show stopper.

4. My thoughts exactly

This investigation is huge and was started before Palin was picked for the VP slot. It must be allowed to continue.

3. The bipartisan investigation is partisan... good one!!

Repukes just keep spinning upside down distortions.
Just more of the same inane McCAin

5. I'm assuming those five were part of the UNANIMOUS vote to begin the investigation

in the first place. Because it was, you know, UNANIMOUS. GOP hypocrisy truly knows NO bounds.
