"A Fear of Too Much Justice”: The Legacy of Oregon Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum and the Role of the Department of Justice
Show Notes

Bobbin, Zach, and Justin react to this week’s announcement that Ellen Rosenblum will not be seeking re-election as Oregon’s Attorney General. They share their experiences dealing with the Department of Justice under Rosenblum’s tenure, and the civil rights that her agency has—and has not—stood up for. They also discuss a news story about a sheriff in Pacific County, Washington, who lacked certification as a police officer, and the growing “I am the Law” attitude among sheriffs.
