Re: Government drops defense of anti gay marriage law
He doesn't. However the DOJ doesn't function like the White House. Obama can't just sack whomever he wants. Lawyers are sometimes holdovers from the previous administration. In the case that the Prof provided, a Republican mormon brought in by Bush wrote an argument against gay marriage which clearly reflected bad on Obama.
Why does Obama need to defend a law he doesn't like?
