Yeah, and that's literally just the GOP, because the Attorney General is not defending anti-same-sex marriage arguments.
http://goqnotes.com/31748/breaking-...m-to-intervene-in-n-c-same-sex-marriage-case/Republican leaders in North Carolina submitted their motion to intervene in two same-sex marriage cases shortly after 4 p.m., meeting a federal judge’s 5 p.m. deadline....U.S. District Court Judge WIlliam Osteen released his own order shortly after 3 p.m., dismissing all defendants with the exception of Attorney General Roy Cooper, who has already said he will no longer defend the anti-LGBT constitutional amendment passed by voters in May 2012. In addition, the judge asked any interested parties to submit any further motions for relief.
North Carolina House Speaker Thom Tillis and Senate President Pro Tempore Phil Berger had said they would intervene in the case, hiring a Charlotte attorney and, apparently, conservative legal scholar and National Organization for Marriage chair John Eastman to represent the state on their behalf....
It's very controversial that the GOP hired their own lawyers instead of 'letting' the AG represent the state, as is the role of that office.
