What Move By the Obama Admin. Has Sen. Lindsey Graham Labeling It ‘Patently Illegal’
“Beyond the pale.” “Patently illegal.”
That’s how Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) is describing a move by the Obama administration that not surprisingly came late Friday afternoon. What move? The one where the White House has told defense contractors not to issue layoff notices in November (four days before the election) in preparation for possible budget cuts on Jan 2, which even ABC News calls a move with “political overtones.”
According to the WARN (Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification) Act, contractors are required to give workers a 60 day notice if they are about to be laid off. The across-the-board budget cuts that could happen in January apparently fall under the requirement. But the White House disagrees, and is begging contractors not to do it. In fact, the administration is even promising to pay legal costs if the cuts happen and the companies are sued for not following the law.
In short, Republicans feel the White House is buying off companies to avoid bad press in the 11th hour before the election.
In the spirit of that interpretation and that promise, Lockheed Martin has followed suit. From ABC (emphasis added):
Defense contractor Lockheed Martin heeded a request from the White House today – one with political overtones – and announced it will not issue layoff notices to thousands of employees just days before the November presidential election.
Lockheed, one of the biggest employers in the key battleground state of Virginia, previously warned it would have to issue notices to employees, required by law, due to looming defense cuts set to begin to take effect after Jan. 2 because of the failure of the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction – the so-called Super-committee, which was created to find a way to cut $1.5 trillion from the federal deficit over the next decade.
Such massive layoffs could have threatened Obama’s standing in the state he won in 2008 and is hoping to carry again this November.
On Friday, the Obama administration reiterated that federal contractors should not issue notices to workers based on “uncertainty” over the pending $500 billion reduction in Pentagon spending that will occur unless lawmakers can agree on a solution to the budget impasse, negotiations over which will almost definitely not begin until after the election.
Contractors had been planning to send out notices because of the WARN Act – Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act – which according to the Department of Labor requires “most employers with 100 or more employees to provide notification 60 calendar days in advance of plant closings and mass layoffs.”
But there’s more:
In July the Labor Department issued legal guidance making clear that federal contractors are not required to provide layoff notices 60 days in advance of the potential Jan. 2 sequestration order, and that doing so would be inconsistent with the purpose of the WARN Act.
In Friday’s memo, the Office of Management and Budget reiterated that notice, urging agencies’ contracting officials and CFOs to “minimize the potential for waste and disruption associated with the issuance of unwarranted layoff notices.”
The guidance issued Friday told contractors that if the automatic cuts happen and contractors lay off employees the government will cover certain liability and litigation costs in the event the contractor is later sued because it hadn’t provided adequate legal warning to its employees, but only if the contractor abides by the administration’s notice and refrains from warning employees now.
That’s what led Graham to sound off.
“I will do everything in my power to make sure not one taxpayer dollar is spent reimbursing companies for failure to comply with WARN Act,” he told The Hill on Monday. “That is so beyond the pale — I think it’s patently illegal.”

Posted on October 2, 2012 at 9:41amFormer Lockheed vice president Ann Elise Sauer was hired by Sen. John McCain in February as the top Republican staffer on the Senate Armed Services Committee.The revolving door swings regularly in Washington, but the size of the compensation package Sauer received from Lockheed when she left the company is notable. A financial disclosure form shows the defense giant gave Sauer $1.6 million in compensation around the time she took a buyout in January 2011.

Posted on October 2, 2012 at 9:57amThe Obama administration not only is skirting the law (again), it is doing so with our taxpayer dollars. Literally millions could be paid to these companies to pay their legal fees when employees begin to sue for not abiding the law and providing 60 day notices. If this were Bush skirting the laws like this president does, not only would the MSM hang him by his toenails, but they’d be screaming for impeachment.

In the meantime, handing out cell phones on the taxpayer’s dime, granting waivers, exceptions, and bribes to get Obamacare passed, committing military resources to the Libyan revolution, invoking Executive Privilege over a program he denies knowing about, the ‘midnight’ signing of the NDAA, Executive Orders putting parts of the un-legislated Dream Act in place…all suggest a pattern of Constitution trampling unprecedented by any one man in history at any level.

Posted on October 2, 2012 at 12:16pmNothing new here. They told the states not to obey the laws on illegal immigration, they told Holder not to obey the law on cooperating with congress, they told the military not to obey the law on military trials, They tell the courts not to obey the law with churches on religous freedoms, they tell the states not to obey the law on welfare…….
Now they tell companies not to obey the law about MY JOB. When will people learn. Every small thing matters because sooner or later it will be YOU. They came for the _______, but I wasn’t a ______ so I said nothing, now they have come for me and there is no one left to help defend me.
Recognize this. If Obama wins, He WILL cut the military by half (that’s his published plan). That’s half less soldiers, half less ship building, half less arms contracts, half less military related workers in shipyards, manufacturing, half less need for civilian workers in military commissaries, half less jobs running military housing and bases, and all those people going into the job market. You think unemployment is high now? And, all the laws requiring Vet preferred hiring practices (which normally is a good thing) and the poor will get poorer, more people outside the middle class. If your having a hard time finding a job now or keeping it, you better start making some plans on how you are going to survive.

Seriously though, this article would be just about unbelievable two decades ago. What is going on that members of an administration can direct defense contractors to not lay-off just prior to an election, as it may affect the turnout for the sitting President and his party?
Is this even america anymore. This seriously sounds like it could be describing the situation in Venezuela. Actually throw in some brown-shirts to help ‘encourage’ the vote and we have the ’33 German elections confirming the NSDAP’s power.

So many people, including the rinos are scared to do anything because o-loser is black (even though he is half white, but we never hear anything about that, because he even talks black, so he doesn’t want anything to do with the white part of him ). al-lying-big-mouth-sharpton intimidated many large companies into doing things his way or he would go home crying to “his” people and they would come and protest against them. Of course, they caved and gave into his demands. That’s why o-loser is getting away with so, so many things that a white president would only do one of these things and he would be impeached. And……o-loser knows this just like moooochelle knows this, that’s why they laugh in our face and do anything they dam well please. Yea, rino, Lindsey Graham, if o-loser is breaking the law….what the heck are going to do about it? Go on Greta and just talk about it? Why, of course!

Posted on October 2, 2012 at 5:59pmIn the Obama-nation there is no law that applies to anarcist liberals involved in fundamentally transforming this Nation Under God into A Nation Under Obama. Law is a bourgeoisie concept that only applies to individuals or entities not involved in the Marxist Obamanation Revolution.
In the new Obama-nation laws are not broken if the justice system will not act. It is a circular construct in which laws only apply when they are upheld and law is not going to be upheld in the Obama-nation if it incriminates the very men and women charged by God and our Constitution to be the upholders of law. Obama’s regime no longer stands for Godly principle upholding societal morality. Thus Obama is not a representative of God, but of evil. For if Obama will not act with the righteous sword even upon his regime that has become lawless then his right to lead has been declared null and void by both God, and our Constitution. It is time for an selection to throw Obama out with the trash of the tyrant.
1 Tim 1:8 But we know that the Law is good, if one uses it lawfully,
1 Tim 1:9 realizing the fact that law is not made for a righteous person, but for those who are lawless and rebellious, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers
1 Tim 1:10 and immoral men and homosexuals and kidnappers and liars and perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to sound teaching,

never to touch upon the imperfection of Obama’s failed presidency.
The death of the Schwartzenegger/Shriver marriage
is more of a headline, gets more play airtime
than the death of an American Ambassador & his American protectors.
What does that say about their priorities ?
Is Schwartzenegger, the chauvinist pig
going to donate all his book profits
to the families of the Ambassador’s security or to a veteran, military cause ?
He says he doesn’t need the money, so why not ?
Better yet, buy the book “Into the Fire” by the brave soldier
in the Afghanistan firefight, trying to save his buddies.
Support our soldiers !
If the network media
lives by their infatuation with Obama,
so, will they die by it, allow them to do so !

Posted on October 2, 2012 at 8:27amWho cares? What are you going to do about it… nothing that’s what. What is the pathetically weak congress going to do about it… nothing that’s what. Obama keeps breaking laws left and right and nobody cares.
Better just to shut up and go along with it for when Obama is re-elected everyone who opposed him will vanish in the night.

Posted on October 2, 2012 at 9:23amAgree .. Our do nothing congress has been castrated. They are afraid of doing anything in fear that they will not be re-elected. They should be on the road waking people up about the illegal actions that Obama has done.

Posted on October 2, 2012 at 8:23amPublish a list of all of these companies so the “workers” know that the Democrats are screwing them.
And the Union members should be looking into their pension investments to see if there is still any money left for their retirement.

Posted on October 2, 2012 at 8:27amIf someone in government is promising to pay someone else’s bills, don’t the congress have to approve that? Or can anyone in government incur and pay bills on behalf of the people? Something really wrong there.

Posted on October 2, 2012 at 8:15amWhere does the money come from to pay the liability and litigation costs of not following this law? Aren’t the layoffs an effort to cut spending?
…We are not cutting spending, ….we are just transfering the money from hard working Americans to a bunch of shyster lawyers?
Lockheed Martin is out of their minds for agreeing to be complicit in election tampering. I hope it comes back to bite them hard!
This is nothing short of tampering with elections…
Obama nust be stopped.

Posted on October 2, 2012 at 10:48amObama/Soros plan…collapse everything then take over everything. One government rule. The government will own and run all businesses around the world run by the elite. All debt will be erased, that is why they spend with no care. There will be not need for money because the government will pay for everything and everyone will have work assignments and earn carbon credits which can be traded for green goods only. This plan is so evil it is hard to imagine. It is the world government system run by the UN. Everything will collapse and be taken over…first they need our guns…but even if they don’t get the guns they have the jihadists to fight for them. EVIL on steroids.

Posted on October 2, 2012 at 8:12amIt is amazing with this administration how one lying and illegal activity leads to another AND how they are using our money to do it. Scream people…. SCREAM. Drive your reps and senators insane. It’s time to impeach the president.

Posted on October 2, 2012 at 8:29amMary Mary quite contrary, you are so naive it is scary. The dems, aka libs and progressives had a super majority in congress and the white house for 2 full years and did not pass a single budget. When the republicans took over the house, they passed several budgets and guess who blocked it, the dems, aka libs and progressives in the senate. The senate is supposed to pass a budget EVERY SINGLE YEAR. Under obahitlerstalmaos lack of leadership, they have not done so in 4 years. Get a clue, and blame the ones responsible.

Posted on October 2, 2012 at 8:06amGeez ya think? Can it get any more clear that this admin has no respect or regard for Law? As for the Americn people paying for this bribe I cannot even fathom the unmittigated gall- this should be in political ads all over the country, maybe a few would think about this lawless group being in for four more years. God help us and we really need it. I’m on board for the 40 days and 40 nights, and I have to have faith in the American people that their hearts will be touched and their brains kick in and vote this truely evil bunch out.

Posted on October 2, 2012 at 8:31amThe Marxist POS will say or do anything illegal or otherwise to stay in power,I’ve said it a million times this bastard is an un American communist heathen foreign exchange student.That’s why we’ll never see his college admission records because he’d be impeached due to his fraud as to eligibility for POTUS.
It’s too late for that now anyway so the Marxist mulatto POS will have to be fired,if not we’re F%^$&D and every American who loves this country knows it.The parasites don’t care as long as they keep getting their ‘free’ stuff and it’s time to be blunt,those parasites destroying this country black and white are the problem and when this economy and government collapses they’re going to feel the sting from the real Americans who got dragged down with them.

Posted on October 2, 2012 at 8:03amThe White House can not be bothered with petty things like laws and Constitutional restrictions. Those are for lesser peoples. They have a job to do, people! Can’t you see how much better suited they are? That’s why they make rules for us, but if they were bound by them, then it would be like we were all equals.

Posted on October 2, 2012 at 3:51pmIf they haven’t woken up yet, they won’t until after the feel the pain of another Obama Administration. The upside of another 4 with Obama is that we get the privilege of rubbing their faces in the mess they have created (and I plan on doing a whole lot of rubbing). The downside, of course, is that we have to endure the same pain.
Let’s all hope that Obama is shown the exit door in January.
