I don't really care about this, unless someone else cannot be appointed to defend the law an appeal lower court decisions in the government's position. I know it is done in the Supreme Court, but am unsure about lower courts.
That's really the only issue that matters - as that would be a huge executive power grab if this could not be done.
As for the growing politicization of the Justice dept., that continues to be a concern, but I doubt anything will stop it in the future, nor is it really avoidable. We just need to be wary of the consequences.
