Palin and the subpoenas in Alaska

I love how Palin is trying to weasle out of cooperating with the Troopergate investigation in Alaska by claiming that she is running for office and that Alaska law says you can't investigate someone in the middle of a campaign. Never mind the fact that she wasn't yet a vice presidential candidate when the investigation was initiated!

Her husband, and potentially other witnesses, are ignoring subpoenas related to the investigation and breaking the law:
Ignoring a legislative subpoena is punishable by a fine up to $500 and up to six months in jail under Alaska law. But courts are reluctant to intervene in legislative matters and the full Legislature must be in session to bring contempt charges, Wielechowski said. The Legislature is not scheduled to convene until January.
She's not even in Washington yet and already thinks she's above the law!

More on her husband, Todd Palin, here.
