The AG's office defends legally questionable orders all the time, that's their job. The court's are responsible for determining the legality of enacted legislation or EO's, that's their job. Much like a defense attorney defends a large percentage of their clients whom they know to be guilty. It's their job to defend them in court to the best of their ability regardless. If they half-ass it or refuse to defend someone once they determine they are guilty then they're not doing their job properly and need to find another line of employment.
