Government Answers Amended Complaint

On April 1, 2004, Defendant John Ashcroft, in his official capacity as Attorney General, responded to the Plaintiffs' First Amended Complaint in Golan v. Ashcroft.  As you recall, the Court denied the AG's motion to dismiss as to three counts, granting it as to one.   Here is the Answer .
In an Answer, the defendant merely admits or denies the allegations in the Complaint, paragraph by paragraph, so this isn't very interesting reading unless you have the Amended Complaint in front of you.   The government denies having information about all the harms plaintiffs have alleged, and denies that the statute challenged violates the Constitution.   Now the case moves into the discovery phase.
