If you’re an ambitious Republican politician, being Alabama Attorney General is a pretty good gig. Just sue the Obama administration every chance you get. It’s proven to be a sound political strategy and has allowed Strange to raise his profile and remain relevant in the minds of voters.

Prior to running for elected office, Strange was an elite D.C. lobbyist who founded the federal governmental affairs practice at one of Birmingham’s most prestigious law firms. He has made no secret of the fact that he has his eye on higher office, whether U.S. Senate or governor. When that time comes, those inside-the-Beltway connections will serve him well as he cranks up his impressive fundraising operation.

Until then, conservatives look to Strange and other state attorneys general to battle it out with the Obama administration in court.
