Re: To answer your hypothetical question, try ACLU v Gonzales.

Unfortunately, AG's like a lot of prosecutors, think Nifong and DOJ, make lots of statements of law that they can't and won't back up.
Don't believe Jay Nixon; believe the case law that I and Skallagrim have cited.

That's why I was curious to see the statement.
It's fine for the AG to have an opinion, but AGs don't make laws (legislative branch), nor do they interpret them (judicial branch). Seems odd for Bachus and the other prohibitionists to cite executive branch opinions, as their only function is to enforce the laws others pass and interpret. As such, it would be interesting to see what laws the AG cites in his opinion.
