#2 I live in Alaska, and the dipwad who filed most of the frivolous lawsuits was on the tube almost as much as Palin. I think it would be pretty funny and ironic if the Palinistas would start filing frivolous lawsuits against her, running up her legal bills.

#3 Sullivan also wants to change the rules so that the state can cover legal bills for public officials who are exonerated after an ethics investigation.

Simple solution is have the [false] accuser pay all expenses if there is no ethics violation. What part of 'thou shall not bear false witness' don't they understand? /rhetorical question.

#4 I think this is probably a bad idea.

we're going to have to be careful about what laws or policies we implement being used against us.

Look at how the left was able to use the ethics law Palin put into place against her. Now we need to think about what they're going to do with whatever precedents we set now.

#6 Just extend the laws on barratry to cover frivilous ethics complaints.
