The Republican Attorneys General Association runs a nonprofit called Rule of Law Defense Fund (RLDF). Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall is the head of RLDF, saying at the time of his election, “I am honored to lead RAGA’s policy branch, the Rule of Law Defense Fund, and bring conservative attorneys general together in promotion of federalism, freedom, and the rule of law.” But now that group has been fingered as being involved in organizing the march on the Capitol Building that turned into a deadly insurrection, so, perhaps some of that honor has been tarnished.
