According to the latest issue of ABA Journal, in an article titled, “The Lawyers Who May Run America,” Governor Janet Napolitano is on the short list for the position of Secretary of Homeland Security.

Here is what appears on the ABA Journal website:

SECRETARY OF HOMELAND SECURITY
Janet Napolitano
Currently: Governor of Arizona
Law School: Virginia (1983)

Napolitano got her first career boost when President Clinton made her U.S. attorney for the District of Arizona. It came after Napolitano helped represent Anita Hill during the Clarence Thomas hearings. Napolitano went on to become Arizona attorney general. As governor of McCain’s home state, Napolitano endorsed Obama a few weeks before the Arizona primary and was rewarded with a featured speech at the Democratic convention.

Though it’s known she would love to become U.S. attorney general, many feel she would bring a different vibe to the Department of Homeland Security. As governor of a border state, she’s pushed for immigration reforms that would include a path to citizenship for those already here illegally; but she was also the first governor to deploy National Guard troops along the Mexico border, an idea later adopted by the Bush administration.

Governor Janet “51-foot Ladder” Napolitano as Secretary of Homeland Security? Unfortunately, this is what you get with an Obama Administration.

At the State level this shifts the political chessboard as Secretary of State Jan Brewer will be bumped to the position of Governor. LD-4 Senator Jack Harper, who led the effort to uncover what happened with the 2004 vote in LD-20, meanwhile has his eyes on the Secretary of State seat.

With Janet Napolitano at the helm of Homeland Security, we can only imagine an army of underlings who will question America’s role in September 11th and blame American for causing the attacks.
