43. This is a case about the Judiciary
have full authority over its own federal employees. The administration should be respecting the ruling instead of defying it.

And, as noted above, a similar case has resulted in a Federal Judge ruling the pertinent part of DOMA unconstitutional. That should be enough for the DOJ and the WH to stop fighting against those trying to overturn it. Past administrations have used that as a yardstick to cease defending an indefensible statute.
