The high court issued a written order setting Oct. 30 for oral arguments and set up a briefing schedule. The high court stayed the Superior Court trial until further order. Carcieri last month asked the state Supreme Court to overturn the lower court's ruling. The appeal asserted the governor’s testimony is unnecessary and would undermine executive privilege, and it sought expedited review. A lawyer representing six of the seven tribal members subpoenaed Carcieri on Aug. 1 and sought information on his instructions to then-state police Supt. Steven M. Pare before troopers raided the smoke shop on tribal lands in Charlestown four years ago. -- projo.com staff writer Michael P.

WHAT IS THE GOVERNOR AFRAID OF? IT ONLY SHOWS YOU THAT HE IS NOTHING BUT A BIG LIER. OH YES I SAID BIG LIER AND HE CANNOT DISPUTE THAT. IF WE ALL REMEMBER WHEN HE WAS RUNNING FOR ELECTION HE BOASTED THAT RI WAS IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION AND WE HAD A SURPLUS. HA WHAT A JOKE. THAT'S PROOF HE IS A LIER. ONE WEEK AFTER THE ELECTION NOW WE ARE IN A 350 MILLION DEFICATE. ALL HE DOES IS BLAME THE UNIONS FOR ALL HIS FAILURES. AND ON THE SUBJECT OF LAWYERS WHY DON'T HE LAY OFF HIS LEGAL STAFF? IT SEEMS EVERY TIME THERE IS A BIG LEGAL ISSUE HE GOES TO AN OUT SIDE ATTORNEY. PRIVITATIZE THEM THAT'S WHAT HE IS DOING NOW WITH THE TAX PAYERS MONEY.
