Knowing that if they wanted to avoid the Nuclear Option they had to let Harry Reid get 60 votes for cloture so he can confirm Thomas Edward Perez to be Secretary of Labor, the Republicans gave Reid the minimum. Only six Republicans voted yes (Lamar Alexander, Susan Collins, Bob Corker, Mark Kirk, John McCain, and Lisa Murkowski). How is that for outreach to the Latino Community? What’s their problem with Mr. Perez? Oh, wait for it, he worked as Assistant United States Attorney General in the Civil Rights division at the Department of Justice. Yeah, he stuck up for people’s civil rights. Imagine the gall!
