Re: AGs

It's not without some truth that state AGs are often referred to as "Aspiring Governors". After Mississippi AG Mike Moore gained national prominence in the tobacco settlement, it was inevitable that self-aggrandizing state AGs would flock to the MSFT case like flies to...sugar. I've no doubt that Joel Klein rues the day that they were permitted to join the case since I'm sure they've contributed nothing of any use to anybody. Neukom was spot on that Posner's conspicuous-by-its-absence lack of commendation for the state's efforts in the mediation talks "speaks for itself".

The mediation was private and the goings on will be kept out of the public spotlight for now, but the true nature of the fractiousness will become manifest once DoJ and the "gang of 19" have to come up with a unified remedy request. I wonder how many of the AGs are running for re-election this fall?
