Palin Takes Page from Bush-Cheney Abuse of Power Manual

Here’s some more evidence of just how well Sarah Palin would have fit in with the Bush-Cheney style of governing, where the executive claims all the power with no accountability. It’s a pretty astonishing article about how Palin’s attorney general – an under-qualified person she appointed for the job – is thwarting the law by telling state employees not to comply with legislative subpoenas in the Troopergate affair. There is no legal justification, only the political claims by the governor, who has “strongly stated that the subpoenas issued by your committee are of questionable validity.” It looks like what she’s most likely to “shake up” if she comes to Washington is the rule of law.
