Apparently, Sarah Palin's staff won't comply with subpoenas issued in Troopergate. Maybe I have an incorrect idea of what a subpoena is, but I was sure that if you don't comply, you face punishment.
I'd really like to see SOME legislative body, be it state or federal, issue a subpoena and back it up by punishing those who refuse to comply. When a subpoena is issued, it's not a request. Attendance isn't an option. It's mandatory. The word itself is Latin for "under penalty." Legislative bodies need to start reigning in these executives who clearly believe the law does not apply to them.
Don't tell us that you feel like "Charlie Brown after Lucy moved the football." Don't give us phony outrage. You have the power to make these subpoenas stick. Use it.
