Uhhh, the author of the quote said if it's the same. Can't we assume that he also thinks it shouldn't be used if it is

Did not know that. Would appreciate a link so I can read for myself what happened and what his current position is. I Googled "attorney general lavin" and got no results. A first name will help, I can look from there. TIA
