So David Kernell, 20, of Knoxville, Tenn., has been charged with hacking into Sarah Palin’s private e-mail account hosted on Yahoo.com. He’s pleaded not guilty, and is scheduled for trial in December. If convicted, he could get five years in prison, $250,000 in fines and three years of a supervised release.

And in fact, if the entire opposition to the investigation comes from a single party, isn’t that partisan?
