"I would argue that his is the most radical presidency we've ever had in our country's history," she said.
Obama:
We want a president who will defend civil justice but we have one who is only listening to Alberto Gonzales justice.....People are tired of Scooter Libby justice."
Bill Richardson (the only non-lawyer amond the candidates):
"I will appoint someone who I will direct and say: 'You will be an attorney general for the people. I don't want to even see you talking to the political arm of the White House staff.'"
