An Anchorage judge today refused to halt the Legislature's investigation of Gov. Sarah Palin and denied the state attorney general's attempt to throw out legislative subpoenas.
Superior Court Judge Peter Michalski heard arguments from both sides this morning and ruled just before 5 p.m. this afternoon.
"I think it's great. It's a big day for the state of Alaska," said Peter Maassen, the lawyer representing the Legislative Council, which ordered the investigation.
Well that is great news for Alaskans!
I knew Judge Michalski would not put up with this nonsense!
Alaska Attorney General Talis Colberg said he didn't know whether he'd appeal or if he'll now advise the subpoenaed state officals to cooperate with the investigation. He said he needed to consult with them.
"I'm going to talk to the clients before I talk to you," he said.
In other words he has to check with the McCain campaign to find out what they want him to do next.
That's good news. Now if someone will keep Ted Stevens from getting off the hook....
