Can we PLEASE stop heckling attorneys general who defend gay marriage bans—i.e., do their job? http://www.slate.com/blogs/outward/2014/06/03/attorneys_general_have_a_right_to_defend_gay_marriage_bans.html … via @Slate

@chrisgeidner@Slate@daveweigel Part of their job is analyzing laws for their constitutionality. An AG who refuses to defend a ban...Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@chrisgeidner@Slate@daveweigel ...is doing her job but reaching a different outcome in the process. -
@mjs_DC@Slate@daveweigel Thanks. I'm aware of all of this. Your tweet, however, stated that defending bans is doing their job. -
@chrisgeidner@Slate@daveweigel Indeed! But I never implied that NOT defending the bans=not doing their job. It's one way of doing the job. -
@mjs_DC@Slate@daveweigel Right, and I think there is an argument to be made at this point that defending bans is not doing their jobs. -
@chrisgeidner@Slate@daveweigel I'd read that piece. -
@mjs_DC@Slate@daveweigel The argument has been made already, by Govs. Sandoval and Corbett, among others. -
@chrisgeidner@Slate@daveweigel Well, Sandoval cited the 9th Circuit's heightened scrutiny standard, and Corbett cited taxpayer expense. -
@mjs_DC@Slate@daveweigel And both cited the likely outcome of the case, which I think easily could be argued anywhere. - 5 more replies
