President Donald Trump and his allies aren’t alone in accusing New York attorney general Letitia James of abusing her prosecutorial powers. A former high-ranking official in her office is now on the record saying the same.

Former assistant New York solicitor general Brian Ginsberg, who reported to James from 2019 through 2022, warned the Supreme Court in a May 12 filing that James is abusing her prosecutorial powers in an ongoing Title IX case against a western New York school district over four disparate sexual misconduct allegations between its students. Ginsberg minced no words about his former boss, urging the Supreme Court in his writ of certiorari to take up the case to "disabuse opportunistic attorneys general" like James from the notion they can misuse their parens patriae powers—the doctrine she used to justify her involvement in the case which enables the government in limited instances to prosecute lawsuits on behalf of individual citizens.

Ginsberg reminded the Supreme Court that James has a history of allegedly abusing her powers, citing comments from a justice of the New York supreme court in November 2024 reprimanding James for bringing forward a politically charged environmental case against Pepsi, which the court tossed.

Keeping her in and out of court for the foreseeable future would suit me.......but the taxpayers would foot the bill you say?

Well, I say good!
