Gibson Dunn Associates Fight for McCain in Suits Over Citizenship

Plaintiffs seeking to derail Sen. John McCain's presidential bid by claiming he is not a natural born U.S. citizen are being stymied by four Washington, D.C.-based Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher associates. Aided by former U.S. Solicitor General and current Gibson Dunn partner Theodore Olson, the team of legal volunteers has spent the past several months representing McCain and the Republican National Committee in courtrooms throughout the country. The latest suit was decided in McCain's favor this week.
