The job of the Attorney General is very specific. My roll, as the legal adviser, is to defend the constitutionality of the laws as they're passed.

Any attorney general who is not an activist is not doing his or her job.

All I want to do is be the best attorney general that I can be.

If I am going to pick and choose the laws I defend, I wouldn't be doing my duty as attorney general.

When states like Alabama and Arizona passed some of the harshest immigration laws in history, my Attorney General took them on in court and we won.

I was assigned to do a job by the attorney general, and that was to find out whether crimes were committed.
