Was there confirmation of an earlier post that stated the Solicitor General would not be defending against legal challenges, but private attorneys hired by McCain?

Can't anyone try and file a friend of the court brief ? Do you think McCAin would want to be out front on a losing battle even if Bush doesn't send him a pen ?

There will not doubt be dozens of people that will, but whether or not Amicus Curie Briefs actually impact a court's decision is still in debate.
