In case you missed it over the weekend, the Obama administrations Friday afternoon document drop was a memo from the Department of Labor telling defense contractors not to provide legally-required notice to thousands of employees that they are about to be laid off, if automatic spending cuts agreed to by the President and the Congress take effect.
Translation: President Obama wants to prevent thousands of employees, especially in swing-state Virginia, from being told that they are going to be laid off due to Department of Defense funding cuts. Because of the timing of the cuts, those notices would have been sent to employees just prior to the election in November. The man who signed those funding cuts into law would like to avoid that.
When the administration first proposed this idea back in June, defense contractors patiently explained to the reelection-obsessed President that there is a law, the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act of 1988, that requires federal contractors to tell employees 60 days in advance of expected layoffs. There are quite a few layoffs expected for the end of the year as a result of a genius agreement between President Obama and Congress to cut astonishing amounts of funding for the Department of Defense. Companies that fail to meet their obligations under the WARN Act can be sued by their former employees. Defense contractors indicated that they would not be ignoring their legal duty under the WARN Act.

If the Justice Department fails to go after the Department of Labor, do we have Conspiracy charges too?
The law is for little people. Obama could slaughter someone according to his muslim faith on the White House steps and nothing would be done about it. He probably will before this is over.
He has already .... just not on the WH steps:
and then there's Fast & Furious ...
If no one enforces the law, then there is no law.
People who knew serial killer Ted Bundy said he was a ‘nice guy’...
Like Ambassador Stevens, the 2 Marines that tried to help him, the Navy Seals whose helo was conveniently shot down, Obama's old choir director, Breitbart, Breitbart's autopsy photographer, Obama's Mom, etc. ?
