So claims Connecticut AG and Senate Candidate Richard Blumenthal.
HT: Ace. It's certainly true that business benefits when fair and just laws are enforced against shoddy, cheating competitors. But I tend to agree with Walter Olson:
So now Blumenthal, known for years of legal posturing and grandstanding against business opponents, will face off against someone known for building the World Wrestling Entertainment empire. I’d say the two operations actually resemble each other in many ways, except the spectacles Blumenthal puts on have been more stagy and less dignified, and the opponents getting beaten up aren’t there of their own free will.
It thus comes as no surprise that Blumenthal finished # 2 on this year's list of the worst state attorney generals. But it would be a huge surprise if you find one person who ever got hired (except maybe by a defense law firm) as a result of one of Blumenthal's suits.
