Put lipstick on a pig, it’s still a pig.

I think it is rather a strategic tactic. The case involves the District of Columbia, governed by the U.S.A., and an individual challenging a firearms ban.

Rather than asking the SC to decide in favor of DC, or an individual in a narrow sense, the DOJ is asking for a broad decision with national scope.

Since it is the first 2nd amendment case in 60 years, lets get a broad and longlasting decision.
