The reason for the lawsuit protecting DoMA is because it's required. The federal government must defend the law, regardless of the administration's opinions on that law.
It is expected that an appeal be brought against the Republican lawsuit as well, though if done so it should allow a timely repeal of the law at the same time, rendering both suit and appeal nullified.
