Commentary

I had interviewed Tennessee’s Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti before and learned several things—among them that states’ attorneys general are known as “Generals,” as in General Skrmetti, and that Tennessee’s attorney general and reporter, as the role is officially called here, is appointed by the state’s Supreme Court for a—unique in our nation—eight-year term.
