Notice how she put her own handwriting across the letter “Richard.” Why not just say Dear “Biased Friend of Mine . . .”

Could someone provide a phonetic spelling of this candidate’s name? I even tried pronouncing it with mush in my mouth, but I don’t think it’s helping much…

The statute was enacted in 1897 apparently. So at some point someone thought that should be a requirement.

His opinion will be interesting, to say the least.

It’s not just the amendments or the definition of the AG as a “constitutional officer” — the unamended constitution read that:

SEC. 10. Every elector shall be eligible to any office in the state, except in cases provided for in this constitution.

So it would have spoken to even those elected positions not defined in the Constitution itself, such as AG prior to 1970.

I think she asked not because she’s contemplating running for Governor, but because she expects Blumenthal not to even reach the “active practice” question in his response.
