Professor says Boehner’s DOMA lawyer "completely misrepresented" her research

John Boehner is defending DOMA in federal court. His legal team for the Bipartisan Legal Advisory Group (BLAG) is led by former Solicitor General Paul Clement.

Today, Boehner's lawyers got slammed in the case against DOMA brought by 81-year old Edie Windsor.

Clement cited the research of Professor Lisa Diamond in one of his motions to end the case. He's been trying to sneak in testimony without going through the usual process. But, today, Diamond responded that Boehner's legal team has misconstrued and distorted her work. She stated, "They have completely misrepresented my research."

Clement is being paid with our tax dollars. But, I've been watching this case pretty closely and I think Edie's lawyers are running circles around him.
