The only man I think could reform the Just-us Department
-
Reasons:
- Ivy League and Harvard Law. Puts him on the same level as the "best".
- Clerked for Rehnquist. Knows how SCOTUS works.
- Youngest state solicitor general. Ever.
- Been in Washington long enough to know how to work the system.
- Pugnacious temperment.
- Wants a legacy. Should be on SCOTUS, but probably won't get the chance. Here is his chance.

Is that a good thing or a bad thing?
Something I dont agree with, but I hear people complaining about "drain the swamp". Is he included in that description?

He is just another swamp monster, for sure. Heck, I think most people (including the GOP) don't like him, so he would be a good top cop. Anyway... he's just as political as the left. A good AG would someone like Barr. There is a reason he served 3 times I think (?), for Reagan, Bush, and Trump.

Barr didn't do shit to reform a known compromised department. I don't want Mr. Nice Guy. I want somebody with a streak of imperious mean, and I think Cruz has it. The Bushies did a great job fucking up the Just-us Department by insisting that Democrats wanted the same thing they did - Blind Justice. Didn't take Obama long to prove that was just simmering horseshit. They weaponized it then and they are doing a better job of it now.
An outsider can't do this job. It's got to be somebody that knows the ropes and can hit the ground running.
