The state attorney general represents the state in federal cases.
He can’t drop the case unless he resigns his position.
“The state attorney general represents the state in federal cases.”
Represents the State....without discretion? So an Attorney General, according to you, cannot say that “we have no case”??
All over these 50 states, every day of the week, lawyers tell their clients, “We don’t have a leg to stand on.”
And when you say an Attorney General represents his state, guess who decides what the state’s best interest is. The Attorney General. So more accurately it could be said that not only does the Attorney General represent the state as its advocate, but that the Attorney General represents the state as the client.
