Rachel Paulose leaving

There has to be some manifestation of the Peter Principle here. We will be getting a new U.S. Attorney for the District of Minnesota. Paulose is off to Washington. Those radiclib attorneys in her office must be jumping up and down and singing a song from The Wizard of Oz.

People will say that she was too young for the job. Maybe they’re right. Maybe they aren’t. People acquire different competences at different ages. [This is peripherally related to an issue I intend to post soon, dealing with drinking age.] But Ms. Paulose is only a year or so too young to be President. [Note to all original intent people: The framers thought that 35 was old enough to run the entire Executive Branch of our republic’s government.

In our military we have a lot of people in charge a lot more who are younger. Potter Stewart was appointed to the United States Supreme Court when he was only a few years older.

There has to be another reason for sending her back to Washington. The new AG must think he really needs her insights there.

Does anybody believe this?

Did Heffelfinger resign voluntarily?

Is there a tooth fairy?
