Who Would the Presidential Candidates Bring into the Justice Department?

With the presidential election less than six months away, each of the three presidential candidates is considering who they would bring into the Justice Department.  Last week, Senator John McCain released a list of 48 legal advisers and has been trying to rally conservatives by talking about the type of judges he would appoint.  If one of the Democratic candidates wins the presidency, the Justice Department may look a lot like it did when Bill Clinton was president.  The chief legal advisors for both Senators Obama and Clinton were tops officials in the Justice Department during the Clinton administration.  If you subscribe to Legal Times, you can view Pedro Ruz Guitierrez’s article, What the Candidates Have Planned for the Justice Department, here.  If not, a snapshot of each candidate’s key issues is available here.--Counseller/nm
