Should change the way that the Attorney General is appointed.
Future Attorney Generals should not be appointed by the President where there is a partisan bias motivation.
Future AGs should be appointed by a non - partisan panel from the Supreme Court and have Congress confirm them.
Anyone have a better idea so we don't have this corruption anymore ?

Not sure about the USSC appointing the Attorney General (Supremes are politically selected nowadays with the Senate rubber-stamping), but I like the idea of a non-partisan agency, much like the GAO that doesn't parse words when it come to economic stats. Did I just suggest another fedgov agency? Maybe in this case it would be justified.

Unfortunately, it will never happen without a Constitutional amendment because of the power of the Executive Office. Still, if you read deeply into the intent of the Founding Fathers, there may be some room for Congress to legislate. I'll look further and get back...

Don’t elect corrupt Presidents. That’s the problem. Obama and his minions do not care about the law. No need to change how AGs are picked.
