After Kamala wins this election I would hope she would consider for Attorney general...

[Enter stage left]

Marc Elias.

He has destroyed the repuqs and would scare the he'll out of them in that position.

[CincyDem]

1. Love Marc Elias but I'm a Sally Yates for AG guy. :-)

[Jeebo]

2. Glenn Kirschner and Doug Jones

I like your nominee, and I'd like to add those two. Jones was the other candidate on Biden's short list before he settled on Merrick Garland. I wish he had chosen Jones.

-- Ron

On edit: An earlier poster mentioned Sally Yates. I forgot about her, but I think she would be a great Attorney General too.

[ChoppinBroccoli]

3. Doug Jones Would Be A Great Pick

I think he WAS Attorney General of Arkansas, wasn't he? He's extremely qualified. And now we don't have to worry about taking him out of the Senate.

As much as I enjoy Marc Elias as a commentator on TV and on the radio, I wonder if he's qualified to handle everything required of the United States Attorney General. He very well might be, I just don't know what his qualifications are.

7. Doug Jones is from Alabama, not Arkansas. nt

[JustAnotherGen]

8. US Attorney for Northern District

Of Alabama.

And he's prosecuted and got convictions for domestic terrorists. Birmingham Abortion clinic bomber and Another one - the two men who had escaped punishment for murdering Addie Mae Collins, Carol Denise McNair, Cynthia Wesley, and Carole Rosamond Robertson . . . the little girls killed in the 16th Street Baptist Church bombing in Birmingham, Alabama.

He's the real deal.

4. Let's not put the cart before the horse.. Elias has a lot of work to do

before anyone is sworn in unfortunately

[Silent Type]

5. Although I often feel same, in sane moments I'm not sure we should consider AGs whose main goal

is to get GOPers. If we beat trump, we can end much of the recent rancor and BS. I’m not opposed to to pursuing criminals like trump, etc.. though.

I’d be cool with Yates or anyone who will pursue white wing racists for crimes.

6. Stacy Abrams

[ProudMNDemocrat]

9. Talk about Democrats having a DEEP BENCH!!!

All I can say is WOW!!!

[scipan]

10. Neal Katyal

Passion, integrity and smarts.

[displacedvermoter]

11. Solicitor General

The Government's Top Lawyer at the Supreme Court

[scipan]

13. SCOTUS whisperer. Would be a real asset as head of the DOJ. NT

[Trueblue1968]

17. He should be on the Supreme Court !!!!!

[hawkeye21]

12. I don't have a personal favorite, but I'd like to see someone pretty young who will be tenacious in going after MAGA

Merrick Garland may have made a fine Supreme Court justice, and that's where he should be right now. But as an AG? He's not nearly aggressive enough for me, especially given the context in which he's working. This is no time to be soft on MAGA criminals, from the fat orange guy on down. Justice delayed, as MLK said, is justice denied.

[ecstatic]

14. Whoever is appointed cannot be soft on republican crime.

That is my red line. Enough is enough. We definitely are going to need someone to multitask with securing voting rights but I think that goes hand in hand with stopping republican crime.

[Sky Jewels]

15. Even a potted plant

would be better than the worthless Milquetoast Merrick.

[SocialDemocrat61]

16. Let's worry about winning the election first

and trust President Harris to pick the best cabinet without second guessing
