Assistant Attorney General Thomas E. Perez's nomination by President Obama as labor secretary has been met with criticism from Republicans and widespread concern among current and former Justice Department attorneys who question whether the Civil Rights Division chief is qualified for the post.
"People should be raising serious questions about this nomination," said Hans von Spakovsky, a veteran Justice Department lawyer who formerly served as counsel to the division. "This is a man who misled both Congress and the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights.
"He was the focus last week of the most devastating indictment of a federal government agency I have even seen," he added, noting that the Justice Department's office of inspector general in a 258-page report documented widespread intimidation, harassment and even threats of violence under Mr. Perez's leadership.
Mr. von Spakovsky said there are "serious concerns" among career lawyers in the Civil Rights Division about why Justice Department employees whose "hostile, racist and inappropriate behavior" was documented in the IG's report have not been disciplined while others who disagreed with the agency's new liberal policies were forced out.
Outline of problems
Similar questions have been raised on Capitol Hill, where Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa, ranking Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, said the IG's report outlines long-standing problems and politicizing within the Civil Rights Division, but shows that "little to nothing has been done" to correct the problems.

What’s the big deal?
As if the Obamadork is qualified for doing anything except smoking a joint.
THE FOREIGNER shows his true colors through his nominations. All are RADICAL ANTI AMERICAN COMMUNISTS, just like him. The republicans need to show some spine and push back hard on these american impostors and defeat them.
That’s all Perez and Holder are qualified for also.

If Obama gets away with this, I predict he’ll be able to get away with anything. If Republicans can’t stop the appointment of this racist promoter of illegal immigration they’re impotent and powerless.
Or...they have been paid with Stimulus/Fed/Soros slush fund bucks in offshore accounts to keep them doing the Hussein Two-Step...
Agreed...Perez is stoppable because of his radicalism, the Republicans can do it if they want to.
The Racist Bastard is a shoe-in, and more favoritism to pandered segments will ensue.......
I’d like very much to say you’re wrong but you’re right on.
Either way, it ends.
(We all know that it continues, right)
