The next major confirmation battle will be over Debo Adegbile, President Barack Obama’s choice to head the Civil Rights Division of the Justice Department, according to sources in the U.S. Senate.
To the left, the choice of Adegbile, 46, is an unmistakable signal from the president and Attorney General Eric Holder that the administration is going to fight states over imposing voter identification laws, which they claim disenfranchise minorities.
“He is a radical far outside the mainstream who would abuse his authority and use the power of the Justice Department to push his divisive racial agenda,” Hans von Spakovsky, senior legal fellow at the
Heritage Foundation, told Newsmax.
