"Idiocy" and "not deserving your friggin franchise" is over the top. If you disagree with my opinion no issue but you don't need to make it personal. For what it is worth I am an attorney as well although I am not egoistical enough to put it in my username. As such, I know exactly what the role of the Attorney General is. He is the primary advisor and lead counsel for the state of Connecticut. He is not some mindless suing instrument who sues when the state of Connecticut tells him to. The key words are advise and evaluate There were clearly grounds for a lawsuit. But as lead counsel it was his job to determine the likely outcome and the public opinion costs of a victory. Additionally who was sued and whether to sue individuals as opposed to just the schools was his decision. Every attorney in America advises his/her clients and Blumenthal's client was Connecticut. IMO The lawsuit did not benefit UConn. Maybe Blumenthal's hands were tied but he is an very aggressive litigator and seems to thrive on highly publicized lawsuits. He is now a US senator so clearly he had bigger aspirations than the AG. At this point it no longer matters...time to move on [/QUOTE]
