She represents the US, not the lawmakers who are named individually in the petition. Then there's this:

"If the petition in your case is so plainly meritless that the Court will not need the assistance of a brief in opposition, you may wish to waive your response. The solicitor general and state attorneys general often do this."

In a helical spiral at that. Demonstrated at 6:10 in the attached video.

"The task of the Office of the Solicitor General is to supervise and conduct government litigation in the United States Supreme Court. Virtually all such litigation is channeled through the Office of the Solicitor General and is actively conducted by the Office. The United States is involved in approximately two-thirds of all the cases the U.S. Supreme Court decides on the merits each year."

"supervise and conduct government litigation "

Brunson is not government litigation. The US is not a party in the Brunson petition.

>Maybe we’re supposed to decode this by rearranging the letters that make up the weird sentence to make a new sentence with the true meaning.

You're ready to level-up to numerology, Anon. It's the next best decode methodology.

>Did the Govt waive its right to submit a brief because they deem the Brunson case meritless and assume it will be dismissed?

We can only speculate. The government is not involved as a party to the Brunson petition. The petition was reviewed by the Office of the Solicitor General and the SG waived a response. This is to be expected for petitions with a low chance of making it through conference. We could also speculate that the SG represents the government, and the Brunson petition addresses individual office holders, so the SG waived comment because the 'US' is not a party to the litigation. In any event, the waiver by the SG should not be seen as favorable to Brunson. It's neutral at best.
