ADVICE ON DEPOLITICIZING THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT, FOR ERIC HOLDER:

Holder may wish to (re)read the recent white paper on the proper role of the OLC, Principles to Guide the Office of Legal Counsel, drafted by AAG for OLC nominee Dawn Johnsen and endorsed by nineteen former OLC attorneys. This paper explained the nature of the legal advice that OLC should provide, distinguishing it from the sort of advocacy advice Holder sought.

I think this is where theory meets practice, and practice wins.
