Troopergate Report On Friday - Any Leaks? Announcements?

[Median Democrat]

Reports are that the Troopergate report will be released on Friday. It is interesting that there have been no leaks regarding the findings of that report, yet. Also, given the McCain campaign's now direct role in trying to obstruct the inquiry, I wonder whether McCain's actions will be addressed, since Palin's cooperation is now being funneled through the McCain campaign.

The panel is expected to meet Friday and release a potentially embarrassing report into her firing of the state's public safety commissioner.

The inquiry has been a distraction for John McCain's presidential campaign, and the report could shed light on how his running mate, Palin, governs and what role her husband might have played in her administration.

1. No leaks yet.

For some interesting background on the lawyers advising the five Republican legislators who sued to stop the investigation. check out Celtic Diva's Blue Oasis http://divasblueoasis.com/showDiary.do?diaryId=159 and follow the links. These outside lawyers from James Dobson's Liberty Legal Institute have filed an amicus brief in this case -- as if it has anything to do with them. It's shameful really, and they're pushing us too far.

So in Part I we explored the right-wing religious bias of the lawyers and law firm representing Sarah Palin's interest in quashing this Troopergate Investigation.
In Part II, on the day of the arguments before the Court, we explore who the legal scholars are behind "The Amicus Brief." An "Amicus Brief" ("Friend of the Court") is filed with the Supreme Court in conjuction with a pending decision. It's supposed to be written by legal scholars and it supports one side or the other.

The Amicus Brief in the Troopergate case is in favor of Liberty Legal Institute, representing the legislators filing the suit to quash the investigation. I was sent this brief and decided to do some casual research into the identities of these "legal scholars." However, the research was so interesting I kept working on it. I looked up 7 out of 15 of the lawyers...feel free to look up more and post on the blog.
