Brian Frosh, just reelected as our AG, has either little understanding of or little regard for the Constitution of the United States and federal law. In particular he appears to have not read the Vacancies Reform Act of 1998 (5 U.S.C. § 3345). We ran a very competent attorney against him this year, but the Democrat numbers were too overwhelming.
Light-loafered Brian is just doing this as a virtue signal to all the twinkies who voted for him. The only way Maryland gets rid of this D infrastructure is a Near Mass Extinction Event.
