Are they though? If law firms are shown to be afraid to defend it, can we honestly know that those who do are doing so with full and honest effort? I think that is the appearance that concerns people.

The sad thing is that by withdrawing this law >firm has undermined the legitimacy of the decision, especially if DOMA is struck down. This struck me as sudden and wierd. Just last week I was reading that this firm would not allow any employee to speak out against DOMA-even in a personal and private capacity (as the defenders of DOMA, it makes sense that they would not want employees making official statements for the opposite side)... this about face surprised me when I read about it earlier. Why would it undermine the legitimacy if DOMA is struck down? They are still getting their Vigorous Defense.
