Is Sarah Palin and her husband Todd above the law?

How many ordinary Americans wish they could refuse a subpoena and get away with it?

educate yourself on what is really going on... The Alaskan AG herself said the subpoenas were BS. She is the one who would have the job of enforcing them.

No, they are not above the law. Don't we have equal justice and our laws does not equally applies to all individuals in this country or law and justice does not apply to Republicans? Like criminal Bush broke numerous US and international laws and committed serious crimes included, but not limited to crimes against humanity. Just imagine that an average Joe was subpoenaed to traffic court for red light violation and he did not show up. Police and/or sheriff will brake the front door of his residence at 3AM and will drag this poor guy out and will trow him in jail.

The subpoena had no legs to begin with.

The person re-assigned was a political appointee who served at the will of the governor - all governors have these positions to hand out to people they like, usually a massive way of rewarding party supporters after they get elected. “Bad color ties” would have been sufficient cause to fire him.

In other words- she didn’t even need a reason except “buh buy”

The fact that she offered him ANOTHER JOB in lieu of resigning makes her more than fair, and this whole thing even more transparently a NON ISSUE.

This is OLD News and the so called scandal has been shot down and buried .

Just a guess, but if ABC, or the MSM on the whole, would apply at least 50% of the effort in scrutinizing 0bama as they do in Governor Palin, 0bama would be 10% behind McCain in even the most heavily Democrat sampled poll.

I saw her, I heard her, and instinctively got taken aback---there is something about this woman that strikes me as totally unsafe. I haven't the foggiest why, but I trust my instinct. She strikes me as a fake. Even McCain, whom I dislike greatly, did not strike my instrincts like that---so whatever she has been doing in Alaska, I sure hope that it will end up to their disadvantage. McCain is hoping to win female votes with her---and maybe I would have fallen for it too was it not for my instrinct....

That depends on how many subpoena's are politically motivated. There are a lot of politically motivated enemy's of Palin in Alaska who would do anything to embarrass her for the wrath she brought down on them for corruption.

They are simply being prudent as to what and who they respond to. It takes courage and commitment to take on the establishment as she did, and they understand the payback portion of this scenario, too !
