State attorneys general have a higher profile than in years past, thanks to lawsuits against the federal government and others.

They are not only their states' top law enforcement officials but chief advocates for a variety of causes.

Few AGs seem as busy at it as Missouri 's Andrew Bailey , who sued Starbucks last month .

The lawsuit alleges the company's DEI programs are pretexts for quotas limiting the number of white, male employees.

Bailey argues that Starbucks practices, including actions against managers who don't meet DEI goals, violate state and federal laws against making employment decisions based on race or sex discrimination.
