reminds me of an idea I've had for 17 or so years, making the federal Attorney General an executive office electedofficial with the agency and its reporting agencies like the FBI, independent of the President. The justification of this concept is that law belongs to "the people" and is supposed to be free of bias.
prides itself on a reverence to the constitution, and on being “a government of laws, not of men,” in the words of John Adams. system seem designed to constrain electedofficials who do not respect them. But the Presidential campaign also told us much about the degree to which institutions depend greatly on informal norms.
A Republican won the governorship in 2021 and that was a shock although Ralph Youngkin ran a better campaign than former Governor Terry McAuliffe along with lower Democratic turnout. In the 2017 and 2019 elections, I thought Democratic wins in Virginia presaged a lot more. Richmond, Virginia.
