Thanks for the Hat Tip. It’s always an honor to be Hat-Tipperarily-Sourced in the LRT. (No, Really, it Is. 🙂
As I said in my email to you, I support the so-called “Bysiewicz Bill.” Any eligibility standard for holding public office — especially Elective public office — ought to be susceptible to objective Quantification. I.e: crystal Clear. “Transparent,” as They say nowadays — iow, not amenable to various Interpretations. But the present (and ancient) CT statutory eligibility standard for AG is so Fuzzy-wuzzy that it isn’t even Translucent. If it isn’t Exactly opaque, it’ll damnwell Do until Opaque comes along. / Neither the CT Superior Court which held that then-Secretary of the State Susan Bysiewicz qualified under it, nor the CT Supreme Court which subsequently ruled that No she Didn’t, had (nor Has) any idea what the hell the law really means. Therefore: Nail it Down.
(Note: this is Not a partisan pibroch [hi Alasdair :], lamenting the loss of the might-have-been Camelotian Attorney Generalship of the last of the 8 CTSOTS agency chiefs under whom I served over some 30 years. We now have a very good AG in George Jepsen. Rather, the foregoing is merely my demand for Clarity in election law.)

How did you feel about the Torricelli/Lautenberg case?
