I believe the attorney general or the deputy attorney general has an obligation to follow the law and the Constitution and to give their independent legal advice to the President.

All I want to do is be the best attorney general that I can be.

We do not feel changes need to be made in the PSC. Furthermore, we believe the position of attorney general should be elected in a non-partisan manner, just like Kentucky's judges, so that partisan politics do not overwhelm decision-making in thinly veiled attempts to advance careers.

The job of the Attorney General is very specific. My roll, as the legal adviser, is to defend the constitutionality of the laws as they're passed.

I have always had an attorney on retainer, and now I believe I will have to put him to work.

I agree with President Obama and Attorney General Holder that we need to reform our criminal sentencing laws.
