To often lately its become "lets pass/sign it", its popular (or I can trade my vote on this for support on some other issue), and the supreme court will strike it down anyway..."

One of the people in this blog debate argued that it would be better if both/all sides of the political debate respected the constitution more but if your opponents are going to advance their agenda with unconstitutional laws or laws of questionable constitutionality that you had better do so as well or you cede control to them. I understand that argument but I can't really agree with the practice.

What do you feel about the idea of an attorney general not arguing for a law that congress passed when it is up for revue in the courts if he and/or the president think it is unconstitutional?
