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
@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. -
@chrisgeidner@Slate@daveweigel Even the Fifth and Eleventh Circuits? -
@mjs_DC@Slate@daveweigel I think it could be argued easily anywhere in the country, yes. -
@chrisgeidner Well, fair enough. I think any AG *could* say Windsor slays state bans. But I wouldn't criticize an AG who declines to do so. -
@mjs_DC … wrong to me at this point, given the universal view of Windsor from actual judges since the decision. -
@chrisgeidner I'm sure we'll get dissenters on the Fourth and Tenth Circuits, though—dissenters who agree with Bondi over, say, Rosenblum.

@chrisgeidner@Slate@daveweigel Has an AG said explicitly that any AG who defends a marriage ban isn't doing her job correctly? -
@mjs_DC@Slate@daveweigel No, of course not. They're not going into other people's states. My point is that it's a fair argument to make.
