“The Americans are going to surrender or be burned in their tanks.”

Seriously, reality has left the building for anyone who would say that Sen. Obama’s chances are ‘dwindling.’

Let America send this piece of excretement back to Alaska where hopefully the Alaskans will expeditiously end her career.

She isn’t all that popular in her home state anymore.

Clearly that’s why they tried to block its release until after the election.

Finding 2 says that she has the authority to fire Monegan. To exercise that authority legaly, she act must be in compliance to Alaskan State Law and Federal Statues.

I hope that this clarifies the matter, if not, look in up. “at will” termination clauses by state and the federal statues.

Hope that helps clarify the distinction.

And if that is not enough, the guy Palin hires to take Monegan’s place, already has committed unethical acts – sexual harassment, Palin’s staff informs him as part of his job interview for Police Commissioner Monegan’s position – his willingness to keep an eye on the ex-brother-in-law because Wooten should be a state trooper and is dangerous. This is totally defenseless unless you are a Republican or under cover Republican going by the name of Independent .

Sorry Sarah, you should have read the Employee Handbook and manuals (the ones that said procedures and administrative laws) given you on Day One as governor. It’s a pesky little thing that’s given on Day One to keep you and the organization you work for OUT OF TROUBLE.
Sarah Palin can terminate AT WILL WITH CAUSE. Palin’s terminations must be according to Alaska’s administrative procedures. Here are the State statues and then the Federal statutes. as well.

STATE STATUTORY PROTECTIONS: The STATE of Alaska has several exceptions for protection of employees who work under “at will” clauses.
1. Covenant of Good Faith and Fair Dealing.
2. Public Policy exception – an employer may not fire an employee if it would violate the state’s public policy or a state or federal statute.
3. Implied contract exception is when another contract of employment has been implied between the employer and employee.

FEDERAL STATUTORY PROTECTIONS for all US states for wrongful termination apply to all employment contracts. An employer is not permitted to terminate an employee for:
• for refusing to commit illegal acts –
• family or medical leave as outlined in the named F.M.L. Act.
• not following own termination procedures – according to company policy, usually found in Employee Handbook.

There are only eight (8) states that have “at will” termination clauses WITHOUT CAUSE: Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Maine, Nebraska, New York, and Rhode Island.

Even though these states have “at will” employment clauses without cause, those states are still bound to the Federal Statutory Protections mentioned above.

Frankly I don’t understand why the report exonerated her on the Moneghan firing, given how much information was withheld. I would have concluded that the issue remained open due to failure of the Governor and witnesses to cooperate.

Wilbur’s explanation is spot on and the observation that the right is trumpeting Finding 2 as a complete vindication comes as no surprise.

Not at all. Finding 2 merely acknowledges what nobody has ever disputed: that Palin had the legal authority to fire Monegan. The illegality described in Finding 1 comes in exerting undue pressure on Monegan and others to act in a way that benefits Palin personally.

Of course the McPain/Lyin’ camp is trumpeting Finding 2 as a complete exoneration, and ignoring Finding 1 completely. It’s the same way the republicans tried to spin (unsuccessfully) the firings of the US attorneys: that the president has the authority to fire any US attorneys he wants.

In both cases they’re advancing the ludicrous principle that having a certain authority makes it impossible to abuse that authority, when any fool can see that you have to have an authority before you can abuse it.

This is a far more serious offense that the inconsequential perjury that Clinton committed that led to his being impeached and disbarred. Add to this the fact that Sarah lied about it then stonewalled the investigation with the help of her bogus crony AG, and it’s pretty clear what kind of Mavrikky spirit that the Palins are threatening to bring to Washington: it’s Cheney with lipstick, and with an assault rifle in place of a quail gun.

Thanks but no thanks, Sarah. If we need a moose gutted, we’ll give you a call.
