First, I have not seen any evidence that Palin conducted state business using a private email account in violation of state or federal law. It is amusing to see people making assumptions, presuming guilt all without presenting any evidence.
Second, these laws are silly. I doubt reasonable people would be able to clearly define what "official state business" is, so this could be used as a political tool against any politician with a private email account. Why are emails treated different than other forms of communication. If I conduct "official state business" using smoke signals why should that be subject to different rules than emails.
Third, I think it is an easy way to attack your political enemy while pretending that you are on some honorable crusade.
This just illustrates that as much as those on the left complain about the political tactics used by the right, the left is just as bad or worse in many cases.
