In 1998, Eugene Scalia criticized 'quid pro quo' laws designed to hold bad bosses accountable. His writings animated his last Senate confirmation in 2001
Two decades before being nominated as President Donald Trump’s Labor secretary, Eugene Scalia was at war with the lion of the Senate.
“The Senate’s changed dramatically in the years since that confirmation hearing occurred,” said Jim Manley, Kennedy’s press secretary at the time and later a senior strategist for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. “What may not necessarily be a big deal then could be a big deal this time around. The people have changed and the issues have changed over the years, and he’s going to get some scrutiny on this.
“The Senate should reject this nominee and demand a Labor secretary who will look out for all Americans in the workplace, not just the ones that sign the checks,” Martin said. The 7,000-word opinion piece, which Scalia published in the Harvard Journal of Law and Public Policy, a common resource for conservative legal scholarship, was cited by the Supreme Court ina case that sought to clarify the legal exposure companies face amid instances of sexual harassment. The decision came a little over a year after the justices decidedanother landmark case involving former Arkansas state employee Paula Jones’ sexual harassment claim against then-President Bill Clinton.
Scalia declined to comment on the record. White House spokesperson Judd Deere said his “past experience in the federal government … makes him the right choice to lead the [Labor] department.”
