Because since they're suing the president, the U.S. Attorney handles the defense.
There’s no getting around the fact that this action by DoJ demonstrates they take it seriously.
This fact refutes the central argument of the anti-birthers (that it’s not a serious issue).
As you can see, your general position on this issue is slipping in a downward direction.
No, they served the papers before the inauguration so they are suing Barak Obama.
I want to tell you something. As a former ethics attorney, I am personally going to refer those gov’t lawyers to their state bar for disciplinary action. Either they are incompetent becaise they have failed to use the unlimited resources of the gov’t to investigate the merits of their case or they are conspiraring with POTUS to obstruct justice by representing someone who they know or should know is outside the scope of his employment. They are not authorized to expend taxpayer’s dollars to represent someone who is outside the scope of his/her employment, i.e., unqualified POTUS. I don’t care what the technical objections may be, if he is not qualified to be POTUS, he is acting outside the scope of his employment. Standing is a technical objection that does not address the scope of employment issue, which is merits based. Before a gov’t attorney can expend effort to represent another government employee, he must conclude that the represented party acted/is acting in the scope of his employment. Why hasn’t the government investigated Obama, and why are they continuing to obstruct justice by throwing up these phoney arguments. Enough already. I am sick and tired of this charade.
