I think it would be better for America if he was appointed to the SC. He is more liberal than many that could be appointed. As powerful a position as it appears to be, the position of AG is really that of a puppet. SCJs however, are damn near next to (your deity here).

The scary thing, of course, is not knowing who would replace him as AG.
