I'll preface this by expressing in the strongest terms possible, the title is a heavy dose of snark, but is the necessary corollary of some of what is being said here, in the media and by the first African-American U.S. Attorney General in the history of the United States.
On Monday, the law firm of King and Spalding announced it was withdrawing as the firm of record defending the constitutionality of the D[enial] of Marriage Act (DOMA) in a series of cases on behalf of the U.S. House of Representatives. It said the firm took on the case without proper vetting, but as we have now learned, some of the firms clients, most notably Coke-Cola, did not approve of the firm defending a very bigoted law in light of their companies' and the firm's policies regarding diversity and non-discrimination. Nor did many employees of K&S approve of the terms in the contract which, among other things, prohibited any K&S employee, regardless of their prior activism, regardless of their location, regardless of their lack of connection to the case within the firm, to openly oppose and advocate against the constitutionality of DOMA.
