“He’s had a very political background at a time when you want [an attorney general] who puts the rule of law first,” Sen. Charles Schumer (N.Y.), number three in the Democratic caucus, said.
The laughable quote of the day from good old Chucky.
This is a very strange thing for Schumer to say. So then, there are times when you want someone with a political background, and other times when you want someone who puts the rule of law first? Shouldn’t any AG put the rule of law first? And isn’t it a given that any president will appoint a political ally to the job?
Will Schumer hold Hillary’s AG nominee to the same standard, if he gets to confirm said nominee?
