ANCHORAGE, Alaska (CNN) – An investigation into Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin’s firing of her public safety commissioner can proceed, Alaska’s Supreme Court ruled Thursday, clearing the way for a Friday report to the state Legislature on the issue.

The justices rejected an effort to halt the probe by the Republican vice presidential nominee’s allies in the Legislature, who called the investigation an attempt by partisan Democrats to sabotage the GOP ticket.

The justices unanimously upheld an Anchorage judge’s ruling last week that dismissed the Republican lawsuit and upheld subpoenas for top Palin allies.

I think the report is set to come out tomorrow.
