The Nation's Worst State Attorneys General Exposed

The nation's worst state attorney generals use lawsuits as a weapon to redistribute billions of dollars from businesses and consumers to their wealthy trial-lawyer friends and their political cronies, as I document in a recent study.

They also fail to perform their most basic job duties, like defending state agencies and state laws against politically-motivated left-wing lawsuits.

Earlier, I described the misdeeds of some memorably awful attorney generals, like Richard Blumenthal, Eliot Spitzer, and Bill Lockyer, in this Washington Examiner column.

That op-ed described examples of state attorneys general using lawsuits to redistribute wealth from the public to their cronies. You can find it at this link.
