Who would you like to see as Attorney General

I'd like to start with the assumption that Bill will indeed leave the presidency just as he should in Jan 2001. A further assumption is the eventual new president will be someone other that Algore. Now for the speculation.

Who would you like to see as attorney general of the US knowing that whoever takes the gig will spend lots of time shoveling out the barn. Corruption in the DOJ is wide and deep. The FBI is a suspect organization now. The way the executive branch in general and the DOJ in particular reminds one how the mob operates.

Having said that I nominate as AG someone with experience in pursuing organized crime: Rudy Guiliani or David Shippers.

Opinions???
 
Don't know about Shippers, but, please, not Rudy Guliani! So he's tough on crime. He's also tough on gun owners; (And civil liberties in general.) You want the guy pushing the NYC gun suit in the AG seat? Not me!

Larry Klayman, that's MY pick! Make HIM A.G., and Clinton might just move to a country without an extradition treaty with the U.S..

I'll second Klayman. It would be good to have some integrity in the office once again, since it's been a COUPLE of administrations past due.
 
I don't see the value in selecting someone with experience pursuing organized crime, since that's the mindset the brought us RICO and so much of the other illegal anti-freedom baggage that's weighing this country down. No anti-drug warriors, either.

I guess I'd be satisfied with any AG who had actually read the Constitution and believed that it meant something.

Guys, we have a lawyer with integrity and intelligence in our midst. His name's Futo Inu. What more could you want? ;)
 
Don B. Kates!!!

Heck ya. He's even got impeccable *liberal* credentials, he was part of the defense team for the Chicago Seven, did pro-bono work for MLK Jr. and was a civil rights lawyer in Mississippi and Alabama in the early '60s.

He's now the top RKBA lawyer in California :).

I notice nobody is picking the person I'm guessing is the most likely nominee, Orrin Hatch. It's only a short hop from the chair of the Senate Judiciary committee to the Department Formerly Known as Justice. The Senator's waffling on gun rights has rightfully eroded, if not completely washed away, his support among RKBAers. I suspect Hatch will get the AG job, and will be near first in line for a Supreme Court opening.

Kates or Klayman would work for me, although Klayman is likely to still have lawsuits in progress against the current felonious administration on January 21, 2001. Possible conflicts of interest?

G. Gordon Liddy's the man. If Ramsey Clark and Janet Reno can be AG then a small felony conviction shouldn't be a problem.

RKBA!
 
I'll do the job.
I have the same amount of experience prosecuting Federal Criminals as Butch Reno had when she was handed the job. ZERO

That makes me as qualified as she was, and still is.

Best REgards,
Don

SAG: Conflict of interest? HARDLY! What's the term for the exact opposite of a conflict of interest? After all, one of the next AG's most important duties will be hounding the survivors of the Clinton administration to the ends of the Earth.

Hatch? Brrrr, now that's frightening!

I suffer intense gastric agitation at the thought of Orin Hatch. That guy talks a good game but does not follow through on ANYTHING. He acts like a guy that has a portfolio of 8" x 10" glossies in someone possession. In sum, that guy is compromised.

I agree with Brett. The next AG's primary job is to hound Clinton and all his minions to the ends of the earth. We thought the espionage at Los Alamos was bad. Now we find out that what was going on at Aberdeen Proving Grounds is worse. The next AG will have plenty to do dealing with garden variety gangsters, traitors, thieves, and thugs. Most in the gov't, lots out of the gov't. But in any case they must be hounded and brought to justice.

Payday for have the Clinton adminstration in office will come much sooner than one would think. I also think the price will be bloody high.

That's all!

Our own Judge Blackhawk is my choice for AG.

He's got experience, character, and writes damn good posts.

If not the AG job, how's about the Surpremes?

Alignment of the planets? Intuitively, you're correct. Hell, in any context you're correct. But the media will have little patience for the "ends-of-the-earth" (formerly known as the Quest for the Holy Grail) type inquisition (a likely media description) of a set of losers. I would be willing to let history write the final chapters on the First Reprobates, if only they'd go away! With the defeat of Gore and Hillary, the Clinton legacy will die an undignified death. I can live with that. Sure, I'd like to see the lot of them pilloried. I'd love to see them in prison. But it's unlikely. And I'm not sure that I - no, I'm sure I would not - want to read about it for the next few years, or ever see Lanny Davis' face on TV again, or listen to Paul Begala assert how innocent the First Criminals are, or how none of it mattered because of what a swell job they did.

Hatch. Frightening, indeed; but... brace yourselves.

If these thugs are not pursued and brought to justice, they will have accomplished precisely what we as a society say we can not tolerate, that being, someone (anyone) is above the law.

These people walk off and we can just kiss that concept good-bye.

I'll nominate former Arizona AG, Bob Corbin.
He has sat on the board of directors of the NRA. He is very pro-gun, and tough on crime as well. He would make a good one!!!! :)
