Excuse me, but what the FUCK? If the state agrees that they don't want to enforce the law, then why should they object to class certification? If, technically, they think the city and county attorneys are bound because they bring their cases in the name of the state, then why should they object to something more formal?
The only thing I can imagine is that they foresee being able to prosecute regardless of the previous ruling, or that they see some way of reinstating the law that's blocked if the class of people is certified. Either way, something stinks in Minnesota.
