Yes. His opinion of a law's Constitutionality means nothing. His job is to enforce existing law.

True enough, but then it becomes questionable as to whether he should be required to take an oath which may be at cross purposes to his job.

Wrong again fufkin. ----- The U.S. constitution is the Law of the Land, and must not be violated by state laws. -- Thus, every attorney must support & honor, - his duty to U.S. & state constitutions FIRST, than his duty to the law.

ATTORNEY'S OATH OF OFFICE

CALIFORNIA BUSINESS AND PROFESSIONS CODE

6067. Oath. Every person on his admission shall take an oath to support the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the State of California, and faithfully to discharge the duties of any attorney at law to the best of his knowledge and ability. A certificate of the oath shall be indorsed upon his license.

(Added by Stats. 1939, c 34. p. 354, Sec. 1.)

Does that Ashcroft's job description too? Then why hasn't he investigated the many crimes the democRATS committed the last 9 years?

As just ONE example, why hasn't he lifted a finger to enforce the law were the Riady Non-Refund is concerned?
