Susan got beat badly. It’s a shame that this happened to her. From any point of view she’s qualified both intellectually and professionally to be Attorney General, but as I’ve said before, the legal questions were serious. Since the court ruled against her, it stands to reason that the court rejected both her claims-that she was engaged in the active practice of law, and that the “active practice” requirement was unconstitutional. On the latter issue, it will be interesting to see if the court’s reasoning, which we won’t know until later, tracks the reasoning that Blumenthal’s office used in coming to the same result.
