"Seven months after he signed the death warrant on ergonomics regulations, President Bush, who has never held a job involving physical labor, appointed Eugene Scalia solicitor of labor."
Over 180 federal laws to "protect the worker, but there's a catch. The worker can't hire a lawyer to enforce them." They had to count on Anton Scalia's son to look out for their interests. Bush to downtrodden workers: "meet your lawyer - Gene Scalia."
