President Trump on Thursday night announced he's nominating attorney Gene Scalia, the son of the late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, to replace Alex Acosta as secretary of labor.
The surprise move -- which top Republicans privately pushed for -- was a visible manifestation of the close personal bond Trump has forged with the Scalia family in recent years. The confirmation process for Justice Neil Gorsuch, who ultimately filled Scalia's seat, sparked the connection.
Scalia, 55, is currently a partner in the Washington office of the international law firm Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher. He is expected to face headwinds from Democrats in his Senate confirmation hearings, in part because he has routinely represented major corporations in key cases involving workers' rights.

I hope it will work out well.
Paesano!!
I would bet hes got a squeaky clean resume
I was hoping he would nominate him for SCOTUS
55 is too old for SCOTUS.
Very cool
What’s Scalia’s take on H1-Bs ?
Bkmk Scalia
Doesn’t matter. The usual suspects will make up vile accusations.

One never knows, but by all appearances, the family is top-notch.
Here is the beginning of his brother’s homily at his Father’s funeral:
We are gathered here because of one man. A man known personally to many of us, known only by reputation to even more; a man loved by many, scorned by others; a man known for great controversy, and for great compassion. That man, of course, is Jesus of Nazareth.

Looks like a very qualified appointment. He should appoint permanent replacements for the other cabinet positions.
Headwinds from dims......more like the usual breaking winds from them.
But not a lower court bench, we need more on 9, 5 and 2 badly.
Amazing how a couple of Podesta’s emails seem to foretell future events.
But it’s all coincidence, of course.
Two deaths that match his emails. One email seems to specifically involve death (wet works) and the other (make an example of) something that led to a death by murder.
Probably just a coincidence...
