Attached to the response was a copy of a letter to Speaker Boehner, sent on Friday, following up on Wednesday's notification letter with a list of pending cases in which Section 3 is under challenge and in which Congress may want to field counsel to defend the law. Ten cases are listed, in various pretrial or appellate stages with numerous deadlines pending, some within weeks. If the House wants to defend Section 3, they'd better get their act together and hire counsel quickly. The longer they wait, the more complicated task they'll be handing over to some law firm that will need to struggle to line up all the various deadlines and get motions to extend time on file.
