Thornburgh was a decent man, pretty good as Governor, okay as Attorney General. Much better than Holder or Reno or any other Democrat. Would put him in the original Arlen Spector class. Seems to have gotten a little softer on certain issues as he got older.
You’ll actually going to need some attorneys who either worked for him, worked against him in court, or who are serious students of Attorney Generals in the modern age.
All said, I think he deserves a B or B-, perhaps more as he is evaluated over time. Still, he is an honorable man which you cannot say about Reno or Holder.
Far more conservative than Arlen Specter. And where Snarlin’ Arlen was a vicious-tempered, paranoid anti-Christian, Thornburgh was a thoroughly decent, deeply devoted man.
