Sarah Palin interview on ABC this morning:

But as for whether another pursuit of national office, as she did less than a year ago when she joined Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., in the race for the White House, would result in the same political blood sport, Palin said there is a difference between the White House and what she has experienced in Alaska. If she were in the White House, she said, the “department of law” would protect her from baseless ethical allegations.

“I think on a national level, your department of law there in the White House would look at some of the things that we’ve been charged with and automatically throw them out,” she said.

There is no “Department of Law” at the White House.

Correct, there is no “Department of Law” at the White House.  Perhaps she was planning to use the Department of Justice as her own private law firm similar to the previous occupant of the White House George W. Bush.  Further, regardless of which lawyers Palin is referring to in her statement, wouldn’t baseless litigation in the White House cost tax payers even more money needlessly.  How exactly would the situation in the White House be any different than her current situation in the Alaska governor’s mansion?  Well there is one difference, the Alaska “Department of Law” equivalent in the White House would be referred to as the Office of Legal Counsel or possibly the Department of Justice depending to which she was referring.

Gov. Palin please study up on the three branches of government and how they work before trying to explain to others the names and operations of departments within such branches.  “Department of Law” seriously?!
