Latest word is that Jackie Berrian, associate director-counsel of the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, is said to be the pick to become chairman of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. The vice chairmanship is expected to go to Thomas Saenz, counsel to Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa (D). There had been talk that he was a likely pick to run the civil rights division at Justice, but that didn't pan out.
There was also talk a while back that White House deputy counsel Cassandra Butts might take over the troubled EEOC, but she's been spending lots of time these days on judicial appointments -- there are 69 vacancies and only three nominees so far. With that many seats left to fill, she decided to stay on at the White House.
