Obama DOJ has just in this term has chosen to not defend a half dozen laws.
They are only required to defend a law when they believe "a reasonable and credible" defend can be made.
Period. The idea that every administration defends 100% of laws is false, stupid, and bogus.
No administration has defended every single law from every single legal challenge. Not a single one.
It is called fierce advocacy not blind and stupid advocacy.
The reasoning is simple.
Standing up for the gays in an election year will cost votes.
They gays are worth less than winning elections. Period.
Anyone pretending it is for some higher purpose/reason is either mistaken or trying to mislead others.
