Kevin Rennie is reporting that Susan Bysiewicz is going to seek a declaratory judgment on the issue as to whether or not she is qualified to be attorney general.
If she opts to challenge the constitutionality of the Attorney General statute she’ll find herself squaring off against Attorney General Blumenthal.
Connecticut Practice Book Section 17-56b requires the Attorney General to be given reasonable notice or be a party to any declaratory judgment challenging the validity of a state statute.
If the statute is challenged it’s the Attorney General’s job to defend it.
Break out the popcorn. Bysiewicz v. Blumenthal may be coming to a superior court near you.
