[EL] DOJ control over who litigates

[John Tanner]

I suppose so.  The more I think of it — which is not much, as I’m at the beach — the judge should have deferred to the request, or come up with a strong rationale (as opposed to whining).   The choice of attorneys is An executive branch function, and the car is at a new beginning — a pretty hopeless one for DoJ as I see it.   If the DoJ attorneys raise merit less claims or act up, slapping them down would fall within his proper sphere.   
I would add more, but it’s past 5:00

So, couldn't DOJ have 11 new lawyers file notices of appearance and join the case without issue, with the only question being whether the original 11 had to remain on the pleadings or could withdraw upon proper showing ?
