Bad faith suspected by DOJ in non citizen voting case

Hans Von Spakovsky:
Tuesday night, soon after Judge Richard Leon denied the request by the League of Women Voters and the NAACP for a Temporary Restraining Order, the U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC) asked for help in getting a lawyer who would actually defend it in court, which the Justice Department has so far refused to do. 
According to lawyers I spoke with, Christy A. McCormick, the chairwoman of the EAC, sent two separate letters (with copies to all of the lawyers in the case) to Judge Leon and Attorney General Loretta Lynch. The letter to Judge Leon notes the EAC’s “grave concerns regarding the potential conflict of interest and failure of the Department of Justice to provide” the EAC with proper representation. 
Based on the pleading DOJ filed on Monday morning in which they took the side of the plaintiffs, as well as “the performance of the DOJ attorney” at the Monday hearing, the EAC does “not believe that the agency will receive the full and zealous representation it deserves.” Commissioner McCormick then ask Judge Leon to permit the EAC to seek “outside counsel to represent [the] EAC in this matter and to require the DOJ to fund that professional service.”
...
The DOJ appears to be supporting vote fraud by non citizens.  The judge is rightly suspicious of their position.

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t
