“It happens every once in awhile at the federal level when the solicitor general, on behalf of the U.S., will confess error or decline to defend a law. I don’t know what is going through the Obama administration’s thought process on don’t ask, don’t tell. It would be appropriate for them to say ‘the law has been deemed unconstitutional, we are not going to seek further review of that.'" – Ted Olson, former Bush administration solicitor general and the federal Prop 8 trial co-counsel, repudiating the much repeated talking point that the DOJ is required to defend laws that are deemed unconstitutional.
