President Trump on Tuesday officially nominated longtime labor lawyer Eugene Scalia to be secretary of Labor.
Trump said back in July that he planned to tap Scalia, who is the son of late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, for the post days after Alexander Acosta resigned as Labor secretary.
Scalia served as the top legal officer at the Department of Labor during the George W. Bush administration and previously was a special assistant to Attorney General William Barr during his first stint as the top law enforcement officer under the George H.W. Bush administration.
Scalia, currently a partner at law firm Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP, has a career history of representing businesses and fighting to roll back labor regulations. One of his more prominent cases involved representing Walmart as the retail giant fought a Maryland law on employee health care.
SNIP
But, But, But Trump is a Racist-how can he put a black man in charge of Labor? (/sarcasm)
Excellent pick!
PAESANO!!!
Trump rocks!!
President Trump is America’s best friend.
Sounds like he has credentials. His being Justice Scalia’s son should not be considered a qualification. I’ve never been a fan of nepotism.
Isn’t it great to have an American president again?
It most certainly is!!!
PDJT for POTUS for LIFE—literally his and ours!!!
I’m sure the liberals will.bitch about this precisely because he is Scalia’s son.
I agree I oppose nepotism, but if he’s got the qualifications, the Democrats should not make this into the latest outrage of the day.
One thing you forget is, people that have traveled the road, should be able to pass that info on to family.
Who wouldn’t?
Learn something new everyday......
PAESANO
Fact is often the offspring knows more about what is going on and how to get above because a father guided them.
Is that wrong?
AWESOME!
“Who wouldn’t?”
I didn’t, a lot of people with whom I worked did. Most of them were turkeys.
Being a Scalia should be irrelevant. As I said, he has credentials, solid ones at that. I wish him well.
That combo can lead to a mysterious death...
That’s bull, I worked the badlands most of my life in the busiest station in Philly maybe the nation. Had/have experience you can’t imagine.
Am I not to pass that on?
He's the son of the late Justice Scalia who was WHITE, as is his wife, as is this man...their son!
Huh?
I expressed my opinion. If you don’t agree fine. I see no reason to get uptight about it.
BTW your experience does not impress me. Apparently you’re impressed about it. I expect our life experiences vary considerably. I won’t cry to you, if you don’t cry to me. Deal?
