Ellison nails Schutz after he admits he's never taken a case for a client who didn't align w/ his personal views: "It is the job of the AG to defend laws sometimes you don't agree w/ if those laws are constitutional" (Note that Schutz then initially stammers about if abortion access is settled law)

On this day 107 years ago-Oct. 2, 1919-President Woodrow Wilson suffered a major stroke that left him physically and somewhat mentally incapacitated for the remainder of his presidency and his life. His wife, Edith, and a close circle of advisers began to strictly control access to him. Image: LOC.
