excerpt regarding Perez:

South Carolina spent $3,500,000 to obtain federal court approval of the state’s Voter ID law as non-discriminatory under the Voting Rights Act.

Don’t forget his involvement in the New Black Panther’s decision.
“In a little noted decision on July 23, a federal district court judge concluded that internal DOJ documents about the New Black Panther Party voter intimidation case “contradict Assistant Attorney General [Thomas] Perez’s testimony that political leadership was not involved in” the decision to dismiss the case.”

You’re exactly right, he lied in the New Black Panther case before the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights and the turkey got away with it.

Obama has a couple of rules for picking his team.

1. Non white if possible.
2. If white has to be incompetent or an ass-kisser..

That wouldn't surprise me a bit, both Obama and Trumka are in the same business of corruption.
