Atlasia v. Antonio V

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

I have to agree here, the Attorney-General cannot recuse themselves from a case, out of principle...

However, given that the AG has pretty much admitted that any prosecution would be tainted, should they lead it... I personally would consider it grounds for them to recuse themselves as the AG has publicly declared as such.

Of course the Attorney General can recuse himself from a case he feels biased in. It's covered in our statute.

My point is that he can't recuse himself simply because he doesn't like the case. But by publicly stating a position counter to the Administration's official position, he can now recuse himself based on that fact.
