No. of Recommendations: 11
It's not abundantly clear that the AG owes the "country and Constitution" any obligation other than to follow the law.
Sweet Jesus, sure, but that’s the low bar. The AG also takes the following (if I searched google correctly) oath of office:
I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.
Im not a lawyer and I don’t play one on TV, but there’s a lot more than “follow the law” packed into that little paragraph.
I get the loyalty and discretion part. However, we’ve seen original textual constitutionalists create new laws out of thin air.
So please forgive me for being skeptical and taking a wait and see position.
It’s not in the Constitution, but it’s still true. You can’t fix stupid.
