.. Our History; in "TOP COP(s)"
Our MEDIA is making a big deal of the fact that Governor Christie of New Jersey was formerly a Federal Attorney. Until late in my adult life, U.S. Attorneys, and Attorneys General, stayed "below the radar" in that they did not make headlines. Watergate changed all of that; when Nixon began firing his Attorneys-Generals for not following his orders; and others quit, rather than break the law. Since Nixon, Presidents (especially Republicans) have a sorry record with their picks for Attorney General. Until Obama, that is. Maybe its because no "white boy" (including McCain?) wanted to step into the mess that Cheney/Bush left behind in 2008!
But, unless I miscount, we've have a total of 82 Attorneys General throughout the history of this country. http://www.justice.gov/ag/aghistlistprint.php?range=81 In my adult (voting) lifetime, Attorney General Eric Holder is the first Federal Attorney General making headlines for UPHOLDING and faithfully executing the laws of our country! For that he has earned the undying hatred of the likes of Boehner and his Tea Party cronies in the House of Representatives.
Who (over the age of 45) can forget names like Robert Kennedy (1961-1964): (a "good" AG, with a murderous FBI Chief as his underling)? Or, William Ramsey Clark (1967-69); John Mitchell (1969-72; Kleindienst (72-73); Elliott Richardson (1973); Edwin Meese (85-88); and another "good" one; Janet Reno (1993-2001). My pick for the all-time worst AG: Alberto R. Gonzales (2005-2007). I seem to remember that Richardson quit the job, rather than become complicit in crime.
Stay Vigilant! Know who YOUR Federal Attorney(s) are! The "Guv" of New Jersey will make it clear how much power these guys have. PRAY for all the "good" cops, because they cannot "call a cop" when they're in trouble!
