The job of the Attorney General of North Carolina is to be North Carolina's lawyer. That is the primary job description of this elected official.
When that elected official, who is no longer a lawmaker, will not defend that law of the state, we have a problem with the individual in question. Roy Cooper was not elected Attorney General to run for Governor, he was elected to carry out the law of North Carolina. Whether the law is unconstitutional, as per the U.S. Constitution, is inconsequential at this point because that ruling has not yet been rendered. And, I remind you that the Democrats have not done too well lately before the Supreme Court, so ... Currently, this Democrat is living off of North Carolina taxpayer while formulating dreams of a personal brighter political future ... climbing the political ladder at the taxpayer's expense. Maybe Roy Cooper should be removed from his current position, and then he can run for governor full time.

Mr. Clifton, in my view, is like a mule with blinders on so he cannot eat more crop than he plows. That seems to be a problem of abject political narrowness from any side.
He acts as if the AG must represent a segment of NC rather than the entire state in its varied views on marriage. Moreover, this issue is under the scrutiny of the Federal District Court as to its constitutionality. I don't hear of any other State AG dealing with this since it might be a conflict of interest on a matter under review on a Federal level. Here is what the Honorable Roy Cooper has done for me as an NC citizen since 1986: (1) Busted Countrywide and gotten refunds for all NC citizens gouged by them in their loans to us. My refund was in the range of several thousand dollars. He certainly dealt with that one successfully! (2) Been actively engage in the massive Scamming things going on today as a warning to citizens again such schemes and active in prosecuting anyone inside NC participating in such. (3) Warning us of the danger of putting the SBI under a new umbrella of control which would make them political rather than investigative without regard to politics. (4) He was my Nash County Senator before his current position. In that capacity he was always fair and balanced for real. He is not subject to bribe nor undue influence in my knowledge of him since 1986 when we moved here. (5) I was his back door neighbor in Rocky Mount. I have done tree work for his honorable father, a well-respected Attorney in Nashville, NC. In all instances of personal involvement, he has not one blemish that I know. Such integrity I would wish for any Public Servant of any party. If the writer can offer a single instance of proven immorality or lack of duty thus far, I will gladly listen and investigate it for myself. All he has proven thus far is how set he is on the Marriage Amendment because it reflects his personal bias and homophobia. The Legislature sets the laws. The AG of North Carolina has limits to his power. It is great when it comes under his jurisdiction. I don't think this is one of his legislative responsibilities. That is another thing the writer must prove to me for me to follow his thinking and bias.
