Alaskan Conservative who wants to see our state succeed













Dr. Oz: “We have shut down just in the last ten weeks 221 hospices.” Bret: “Wait, over 220 in the state of California?” Dr. Oz: “Yes, in Los Angeles alone.”










Alaska’s very new AG Stephen Cox just admitted the investigative grand jury is being gatekept by his own Department of Law. Citizens can’t directly bring serious matters of public corruption to the grand jury. Prosecutors get to screen everything first. This is exactly what the Alaska Constitution was written to prevent. The grand jury was meant to be the PEOPLE’S check on government misconduct, not another tool controlled by the government itself. The new law review article by Prof. Richard Garnett (Notre Dame) and Savannah Shoffner lays it out clearly: 💥 Grand juries historically acted as an intermediary between the people and the government. 💥 They could investigate public welfare, expose inefficiency or corruption, and issue reports WITHOUT needing prosecutor approval. 💥 Alaska’s Constitution explicitly protects this power: “The power of grand juries to investigate and make recommendations concerning the public welfare or safety shall never be suspended.” Yet Rule 6.1 lets the Attorney General play gatekeeper. AG Cox says he’ll “review” the citizen petitions “in due course” with his overworked prosecutors. Translation if you asked The critics is the low staff allows them to slow-walked, possibly buried, and be also decided by the very officials many of these petitions likely target. 💯 Respect this 💯He even suggests moving the whole process to the judicial branch with independent counsel which is the right idea, but then says he’ll follow the flawed rule until the Supreme Court changes it. We shouldn’t have to wait for the Court to do what the Constitution already requires. Alaskans demanded this investigative grand jury for a reason. It’s supposed to be our last line of defense against government overreach and corruption not another layer of bureaucracy controlled by the same government. Time for the Alaska Supreme Court to fix Rule 6.1 and restore the grand jury to its constitutional role. No more gatekeeping the people’s voice. The Constitution isn’t a suggestion. What do you think, Alaska? AlaskaGrandJury FixRule61
