Dave,
That Mr. Spitzer has very real designs on higher office is obvious. Now, attorneys general using their prosecutorial powers to raise their profile prior to seeking higher office is nothing new; the names Rudy Giuliani and Robert Kennedy spring readily to mind. What I do find distressing in Mr. Spitzer's recent actions is not his campaign against Mr. Grasso's bank account; he has over the past few years shown his willingness to demonize corporations and their officers in an attempt to get the attention of Democrats. What I do find offensive is that Mr. spitzer has apparently decided to do a little pandering to a predominantly Democratic constituency at the expense of upholding the rule of law - his primary responsibility as New York AG - by making it clear that he'll take no action on stopping same sex marriages being performed in New Paltz, NY:
New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer refused a request from state health officials to block the marriages, but did not issue an opinion on whether the unions were legal.
...which is absolute BS, Dave. New York law is absolutely clear on this issue. Ain't political pandering just wonderful - even if it disrespects the law?
