I was an attorney general. That was - that matters to me, and if you won't obey your own rules, there's no reason to think you'll obey any others.

The job of the Attorney General is very specific. My roll, as the legal adviser, is to defend the constitutionality of the laws as they're passed.

The attorney general should be enforcing the law, not policy.

All I want to do is be the best attorney general that I can be.

There are a whole variety of reasons I want to be attorney general, a whole variety of things that I do as attorney general that go beyond national security.

I couldn't do that as attorney general. Why? Because they are my clients. You can't say they're not doing what they ought to be doing when you are the attorney general.

It doesn't make sense for me to be a lawyer in a place where there is no law.

I was one of the worst attorneys. I didn't enjoy law.

Any attorney general who is not an activist is not doing his or her job.

I'm a lawmaker, but I really don't like laws.
