I agree... his position on abortion has no standing as Attorney General. His job is to oversee the Department of Justice and FBI and make certain they do their jobs properly.

You are correct...but Attorney Generals are often the government's chief advocates when arguing a position for the government. I'm not saying this AG would do this, but we have seen this with regards to things like Affirmative Action...and more specifically, with Ike's AG (Herbert Brownell) who argued the case for the Federal Government with regards to Civil Rights...something liberals often forget. While an AG can't make law, s/he can be the governments main advocate for it.
