New York native Tom Perez, the current Secretary of Labor, is being mentioned as a possible running mate for Hillary Clinton:
“… there’s growing buzz he could be an ideal vice presidential pick for Hillary Clinton if she wins the Democratic presidential primary … Democrats are beginning to speculate about who she might tap as a running mate. Perez, according to some in the party, could singularly help Clinton appeal to progressives energized by Sanders’ campaign and help unify the party once he bows out …”
I know nothing about the guy. A quick internet search does not reveal any gun statements by him. I did find this story about his confirmation hearing:
” … “Tom Perez is more than just some left-wing ideologue — he’s a left-wing ideologue who appears perfectly willing to bend the rules to achieve his ends,” said Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky. “This is reflective not of some passionate left-winger who views himself as patiently advancing policies within the bounds of a democratic system but as a crusading ideologue whose convictions lead him to believe that the law simply doesn’t apply to him.” …”
Wonderful.
That is the story of all of them, including the four (or more) frauds sitting in the SCOTUS.
By the way Jacob, I heard some disturbing content in Justice Thomas’s questioning, particularly his reference to 2A as a basic right “at least for now”. Its that last part that is disturbing. It seems to signal of a lack of confidence in the longevity of Heller. I share his (grave) concern, and have for a while.
Any male VP for Queen Hillary’s imperial presidency will be a neutered lapdog.
BTW, along the line of roles to be filled, Huma will be the de facto First Lady. Munch on that rug.
