When it comes to litigation by or against the Commonwealth, the buck stops on the desk of the Attorney General.  It is the AG that makes the final call on whether to settle a case or press forward, and everyone in the office knows that.  We need an AG who is used to making the tough calls in high-stakes litigation.

And that is why we need John Brownlee as our next Attorney General.  Brownlee was not just any old U.S. Attorney—he was an important one, and one with a national reputation.

Sometimes, the heavy favorites win the horse race.  According to the AP, Barack Obama will announce that he has chosen Sonia Sotomayor to replace David Souter on the Supreme Court.  That allows Obama to appoint another woman and the first Hispanic to the nation’s highest court, giving him another little slice of history:

I think, instead, that it has something to do with the fact that Obama has been pouring money down a crony-statist rathole at absolutely astronomical and unprecedented rates. Yep, here’s that graphic again. Note that it doesn’t support Obama’s claim at all — but it does support mine.
