Emboldened by the ouster of presidential adviser Van Jones (upper photo), conservative and business groups are launching fresh challenges aimed at derailing more of Barack Obama's nominees.David Michaels, Mr. Obama's pick to head the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is a new target.
Michaels published a book attacking corporate executives for the tactics they used to fight class-action lawsuits.
Republican critics said they considered Mr. Michaels to be too close to trial lawyers because of his aggressive advocacy on their behalf.
Selecting a tort lawyer as head of OSHA is part of Obama’s plan to assist labor unions.
It will be very easy for Mr. Michaels to find enough nit-pick faults to literally shut down a business that is even thinking about blocking or ousting a labor union.
The last paragraph of the report linked to below says:
"We're going to fight back against it," AFL-CIO spokesman Eddie Vale said. "If Obama is picking nominees that are going to be friendly to workers, we're not going to sit back and let big business go after his nominees."
The criticism aimed at Mr. Michaels follows a pattern that began with the case of Cass Sunstein (lower photo), who last week was confirmed by the Senate as the White House's top regulator.
We reported (second link below) about Cass Sunstein and how he has advocated organ harvest without consent.
To look through the long list of Czars, seems more like looking through a list of radicals.
