Doing the legwork the Legacy Media will not provide. Understand exactly how radical this nominee is, then ask yourself: Where’s the pushback?
WASHINGTON DC – A vote on President Barack Obama’s controversial labor secretary nominee was postponed after Republican Senators summoned a whistleblower to testify before the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions committee.
Politico reported on Wednesday that Frederick Newell, a St. Paul, Minnesota community activist, will appear before the committee to discuss the $200 million whistleblower lawsuit that Tom Perez, the head of the Department of Justice’s civil rights enforcement, allegedly dismissed as part of a quid pro quo deal with the city. The city withdrew a Supreme Court case that threatened to overturn disparate impact, a racial discrimination doctrine that Perez supports, in exchange for the DOJ dropping the whistleblower suit.
Nine HELP Committee Republicans sent a letter to Chairman Sen. Tom Harkin (D., Iowa) on Monday asking him to postpone a confirmation vote so the committee could interview the whistleblower and one other witness about the St. Paul case. The Republicans also hope to explore allegations that Perez used his personal email account to dodge transparency laws.
“We are concerned that this is premature for consideration because there are a number of requests for information that remain outstanding,” the letter states. “We believe a president should have the service of his cabinet but we also take seriously our obligation to review carefully a nominee’s fitness for office. Without the requested information, we cannot complete that evaluation.”
Harkin had pledged not to delay the vote, which was scheduled for Thursday, according to the Wall Street Journal. He reversed himself on Wednesday.
“While I continue to believe there are no impediments to Mr. Perez’s confirmation, I am agreeing to postpone his Committee vote until May 8th, in order to allow those Senators who have asked the time to request additional information they believe they need, and to evaluate his qualifications,” Harkin told Politico.

In addition to the race-based controversy surrounding the Minnesota, St Paul, quid-pro-quo, we have previously outlined some other perhaps more alarming issues:
To call Perez a radical is to do an injustice to the term itself. Tom Perez is a racial radical, a specific and intentional race based politico of the highest order.
Much of the information you will read about Perez will outline his warm affection to Islam in general, and to Sharia Law specifically. That alone should be alarming to the casually interested. But his ideological perspectives and his previous institutional activity within the Dept Of Justice should raise alarm levels to infinity.
Tom Perez was head of the “Civil Rights Division” within the DOJ. In that position he is in charge of the Community Relations Service, the super-secret race-based sub agency affectionately, and ironically, called “The Peacekeepers”.
Both Eric Holder and Tom Perez use the Dept of Justice to deliver their perspectives of social justice to the larger population. It is the ideology of considering race first, and behavior second, which has led to numerous alarming proclamations from various elements within the larger Federal apparatus.
A four year investigation recently concluded a scathing 250 page report outlining the horrific nature of the Civil Rights division within the DOJ and the application of law based on race. (pdf here)

Consider these examples:
– In an effort to address what they view as “wrongs” school discipline is now being considered based on race and not behavior.
– In an effort to address black employment, movement is now underway to stop criminal background checks from being allowed as a qualifier for hiring.
These and other manipulative efforts on behalf of the DOJ, and various entities who look to the DOJ for process enforcement (example EEOC), are leading to a very alarming application of law; One that first looks at race, then after review of racial context looks at the behavior of the person, to determine unlawful considerations.
