Information isnt Advocacy
It wasn't "undefendable". Until an issue such as this makes it all the way to the supreme court it is unresolved...........So, you wanted them spending tax money defending the undefendable?NO what they decided is they didnt agree with the law.........regardless, either way they shouldv'e had the integrity to step down.Refusing to defend a case because the outcome is clear is at their prosecutorial discretion. My AG did the same exact thing. Why waste the resources and taxpayers dollars on a losing cause?
Because it is their damn duty as a public servant...lawyers defend losing cases all the time........All AGs that pulled that stunt........including the US AG should have been fired and disbarred.
Be that as it may, these AGs decided that these cases couldn't not be won and used their prosecutorial discretion to not defend them anymore. The law was still in effect but the AG decided defending it was foolish.
What it was, was him putting his personal opinion ahead of his duty.............
What the magistrate in the OP did was no different.
This is what the Arizona Attorney General had to say about it...
Lawyers live under a rule called Rule 11, which provides that it is unethical for a lawyer to file a pleading for purposes of delay rather than to achieve a result.
The probability of persuading the 9th circuit to reverse today’s decision is zero. The probability of the United States Supreme Court accepting review of the 9th circuit decision is also zero.
Therefore, the only purpose to be served by filing another appeal would be to waste the taxpayer’s money. That is not a good conservative principle.
