Except you take it a bridge too far. Waiving a right to respond to a writ is not the same as declining to represent the government. It is simply declining to respond to the petition. That person is still attorney of record for the government. You can bet if this magically gets out of conference with 4 votes, there will be someone from the DOJ representing the government.

So youβre saying thereβs a chance it makes it out of conference.
