I would like to take this opportunity to thank this group for doing such a great job. It was a
privilege to work with you.
When you look back to last year's State of the Union Address, I think most people assumed that the
DOJ suit would turn
into a constant barrage of attacks by the White House, joined by the Anti's and supported by a
well-funded Justice
Department suit. Instead , since the formation of the PM DOJ Team, Congress refused to fund the
suit, the White House
has been noticeably silent, and the Anti's have had to turn their attention efsewhere. You should
consider it a tremendous
accomplishment that, since the filing of the suit, the only comment from DOJ has been " we will do
our talking in court." I
suspect that view has little to do with professionalism, and everything to do with recognizing that
this suit is not politically
popular. You deserve great credit for creating that atmosphere and we in litigation greatly
appreciate it. Now that you have
neutralized the political pressure we will do our very best to have this suit dismissed on legal
grounds. If we succeed, it will
be due in larqe part to vour efforts. Thank vou.
