Dennis Carver - Vermont's NEXT Attorney General (Vote in Vermont Elections)

The Constitution is the supreme law of the land.
Pending legislation should be reviewed for Constitutionality.
Allegations of misconduct by public officials should be immediately and thoroughly investigated. The results should be announced publicly, and action taken immediately when justified.
Truth and justice should be relevant and admissible in our courtrooms
The judiciary has no authority to deny an individual his Constitutional Rights; and the Attorney General should not protect and defend the judge or those actions.
State government needs to be friendlier to work with. The Attorney General should generally be the mediator, finding workable solutions for both the state and the citizen.
The Attorney General's Office should put its emphasis on matters that are its responsibility, such as welfare fraud and drugs.
The Attorney General has no authority to make law. The US Supreme Court decided that Vermont's campaign law included two sections, dealing with contributions and spending limits, which were so restrictive as to be unconstitutional. The rest of that law is still in place and still in effect. It simply lacks contribution and spending limits. For Sorrell to attempt to reinstate a law which was repealed nine years ago shows an outrageous arrogance and a total disregard for both Constitution and Law. Bill Sorrell is not the King of Vermont.
The Attorney General has no authority to direct the law enforcement agencies of the state to enforce federal law. That authority rests with the officials who are elected to the federal government.
The legislature has empowered the Attorney General to enforce the laws of Vermont only. All agencies know that: the Attorney General cannot arbitrarily expand his authority.
The manner in which the state government deals with the people and the businesses of Vermont could and should be a lot more friendly.
