And now we know what AGs should never hold another office. Although lately that seems like most of them. It’s become a great jumping off point for a career, which has caused too many of them to politicize enforcement of the law. ---

I was just coming in here to mention Perdue. Here’s a clip from one article. \*Sen. David Perdue, a freshman senator from Georgia, opened his remarks at the Faith & Freedom Coalition’s Road to Majority conference by encouraging attendees to pray for President Obama. But, he added in a joking tone, they need to pray for him in a very specific way: “We should pray for him like Psalms 109:8 says: May his days be short,” the senator said, smiling wryly. The crowd chuckled and he moved on with his address. The rest of that passage, which Perdue did not recite, reads, “May another take his place of leadership. May his children be fatherless and his wife a widow. May his children be wandering beggars; may they be driven from their ruined homes.”\* ---
