      Gabriel Malor Retweeted Nicholas Bagley

      Indeed, that used to be the norm. But AG Holder didn't want to defend DOMA, so it is no longer the norm. Although I vocally opposed DOMA, I wrote at the time that Holder's decision was the wrong one. And here we are.https://twitter.com/nicholas_bagley/status/1004866345924689925 …

      I am at a loss for words to explain how big of a deal this is. The Justice Department has a durable, longstanding, bipartisan commitment to defending the law when non-frivolous arguments can be made in its defense. This brief torches that commitment.

      This (1) erases the history on this issue, (2) dismissively states what Holder did, and (3) ignores the factual predicate behind Holder’s decision.

          So there was no good faith constitutional argument for the constitutionality of DOMA? That’s ludicrous, even if DOMA was a terrible policy.

          Your overbroad, vague and conclusory statement is not a counter-argument. It is a topic sentence.

          I'm forced to acknowledge that Duke University has turned out at least one insightful graduate. Okay, that was Bilas. But you, too.

          It doesn't erase any history. The dismissive tone is correct and completely warranted. There was no factual predicate, just virtue signaling to a motivated constituency.
