If he is commenting on something he hasn't read that is not good, regardless. Would you want a law enforcement official or judge commenting on a case you may be involved in with no real knowledge of that case? Could this not lead to prejudice against your case? He is the AG of the USA for goodness sakes.

News Conference and an interview on TV which I have seen a clip on YouTube with Jake Tapper on This Week. It is about 4 mins 30 secs in.

Here is info on the news conference from CBS.

Wow, I'm so underwhelmed. He said he thinks we should approach immigration as a national process and not a state-by-state process. He said he's concerned about the possibility of profiling, but also said that he doesn't feel that the intent is racist. Whether or not he read the bill, that's pretty benign and goes along with the federal stand point that immigration is a federal issue. He did not say the law was or was not legal, did not say whether or not he would oppose it, did not say whether or not the AG's office would file a suit against AZ. Yet again, this is a bunch ado about nothing. Not drinking any Kool-aid either. Just not looking for any conspiracies around every corner. Hell, if I was drinking the kool-aid, I'd be mad that he hadn't read the law and already filed the lawsuit!

Okay, then why would he trash it prior to reading it? Why comment at all? Wouldn't it be better to say, "I haven't read it and will wait to form an opinion after I have studied the law"? This is not like me or you commenting on something. This is a law enforcement leader who should be informed.

No conspiracy just bad governance from the AG.
