I'd take either in a heartbeat.

I'd disqualify either of them if they did not have the stomach to nail Trump for his crimes.
Went through that with Nixon and the failure to nail him probably is part of the reason why we have Trump today.

They wouldn't do it out of revenge; they'd go where the evidence and the law took them. I believe they are honest and objective.

Moderate in views, but aggressive in practice, especially with civil rights. And time in the Senate makes him a pretty easy confirmation even if Moscow Mitch runs the show.

Add last names as appropriate.

I’d be happy with *anyone* other than Bill Barr.

If you want an AG who WILL throw the gangsters in jail....then the new AG has to be Glenn Kirschner.

I listen to his podcasts. His speech pattern is soothing to me but would create terror to those who need to come to justice

So, we are not likely to get some of the names mentioned.

The confirmation process for all of Biden's nominations is going to be FUBAR.

One year for Doug Jones, One year for Sally Yeates, one year for Preet, part of a year for Ben Ginsburg to prosecute elections law issues. The rest to the meanest big stick jerk we can find.
