Obama Administration Asks Supreme Court to Dismiss ACLU Challenge to Warrantless Wiretapping Law!

48. It is YOU who needs the class in Civics.

You said:[font color=red]
"It's the DoJ's job to ask the court to dismiss a suit. It doesn't matter what the challenge is, the lawyers on the other side of the challenge will always ask for a petition/charge to be dismissed. "[/font]
This is a FALSE statement.


I supplied proof above that you attempted to discredit with unfounded snark.
Here is another example.
"AG Holder: DOJ Won’t Defend a Challenge to DOMA Brought by Members of Military.

"Attorney General Eric Holder sent House Speaker John Boehner a letter today to inform him that the Department of Justice will not defend the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) in a challenge brought by current and former active duty members of the United States military. In the lawsuit, the litigants seek various federal benefits for their same -sex spouses — medical and dental insurance, basic housing allowances, visitation rights in military hospitals and survivor benefits."

As shown above, the Department of Justice has discretion about WHAT they will defend,
and what they will let go,
AND the DoJ uses this discretion frequently.

Asking the Supreme Court not to hear the ACLU Challenge is NOT simply routine,
or "their job" as you would have people believe.
It clearly demonstrates an issue that is important to the Obama Administration.
They are choosing to defend what they see as their right to spy on Americans without a warrant,
and to shield the Telecoms from any consequences for violation of the 4th Amendment.




You will know them by their WORKS,
not by their excuses.
