What he votes for as a legislator and what he enforces as an administrator are two wholly different things. He's free to vote however he pleases, provided he's prepared to answer to his constituency. As Attorney General, you're right, he should uphold the laws of the U.S., just as he's pledged to do. But so shoud anyone in that office, regardless of beliefs. The fact that you really don't like his views on abortion or same sex partners or whatever really doesn't bear on how fit he is to be the AG.
