This article must adhere to the biographies of living persons (BLP) policy, even if it is not a biography, because it contains material about living persons. Contentious material about living persons that is unsourced or poorly sourced must be removed immediately from the article and its talk page, especially if potentially libellous. If such material is repeatedly inserted, or if you have other concerns, please report the issue to this noticeboard.

This page is about a politician who is running for office or has recently run for office, is in office and campaigning for re-election, or is involved in some current political conflict or controversy. For that reason, this article is at increased risk of biased editing, talk-page trolling, and simple vandalism.

If you are a subject of this article, or acting on behalf of one, and you need help, please see this help page.

Regarding the NPOV Tag

This article appears to use "political spin" in making opinion type conclusions to some of the sourced material cited on the page. Other articles on Wikipedia covering attorneys general seem to not have such bias. I invite editors to review this page with me to adjust the page pursuant to Wikipedia's a neutral point of view policy.

Some examples of good wikipedia pages covering attorneys general:

Cases not involving Morrisey

An editor has repeatedly attempted to insert legal cases into this article which do not involve Morrisey. For example, this edit, about the Cutler case, and this one which also includes Pam Geller in Texas(?). I've removed the off-topic content, but the same editor appears intent on cut & pasting unrelated information into biographies, here and elsewhere. I've verified that the content already exists in a more appropriate and relevant article before removing it from this article. Xenophrenic (talk) 13:32, 15 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

And what is the reasoning behind this edit? Xenophrenic (talk) 14:19, 16 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

EPA lawsuits section

@NuclearWizard: I think your edit here was along the right lines. There is a lot of content here of unclear relevance, and that is written with legal jargon, making it not particularly helpful to the lay reader. Maybe we can go through the lawsuits section piece by piece and remove content that lacks good sourcing? I'm sure there's more content to be added here, too, and it seems the EPA stuff hasn't seen much updating since it was added a few years ago. Marquardtika (talk) 21:08, 9 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Marquadtika and Kim9988: I agree. It's got undue weight (like the Clean Power Plan case having five paragraphs) and come to think of it, there's some WP:BLP violations in there--tons of deadlinks, but many (particularly EPA.gov links) actually have notices saying it was moved elsewhere. Some are also password-protected and so on. Nuke (talk) 21:52, 9 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Does anyone oppose reinstating this edit? If no one is willing to go to bat for that content, I think it should be removed. Marquardtika (talk) 21:19, 21 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

42Squire (talk) 19:16, 11 February 2021 (UTC) From the Court of Appeals opinion Mingo Logan Coal Co. v. EPA, 829 F.3d 710 (D.C. Cir. 2016) the argument EPA cannot veto the Corps permit would be without merit. My edit just refers to the fact the US Supreme Court denial of certiorari does not indicate their opinion on the argument. If there is support the US Supreme Court found no merit that would be welcome.[reply]
