KillerB, you can do your own legal research. I am quite familiar with the faction pushing your argument. "Officer of the court" is a ceremonial, meaningless concept; it just means an attorney has to follow the ethical rules and such. It does not mean that an attorney exercises the powers or functions of the judicial branch of government within the meaning of the constitutional prohibition such that exercising the powers or functions of another branch would violate the separation of powers clause.

KillerB, your separation of powers argument has been rejected by all courts that have considered that argument. That's a nonstarter, and it makes you look foolish to anyone who actually understands the law.

2zero, both of your arguments are specious and silly. There are probably a few things for which Mr. Sandoval can be legitimately criticized. Suggesting that he bears responsibility for energy rates is not one of those things and is just dumb. What about those PUCN commissioners (from years ago) with whom you are apparently so familiar? Weak sauce.

As for the Consumer Advocate, anyone familiar with that gentleman would know that he was an advocate only for himself and long overstayed his welcome in state government.

When Sharron Angle served in the Assembly, she was the single most ineffective legislator in recent history, rivaled in ineffectiveness only by her compatriot, Don Gustavson. There could scarcely be a greater contrast in effectiveness than a comparison between Angle and Senator Raggio, who is probably the most effective and esteemed legislator in recent history. The fact that a race between Angle and Senator Raggio is even considered close is representative of the almost complete lack of public understanding, knowledge and interest about legislative representation and the legislative process. Trading Raggio in for Angle would be a mistake of such epic proportions not only to Northern Nevada, but to Nevada as a whole, that it boggles the mind that any thinking person would consider such a course of action.
