President Obama is facing another tough confirmation battle if his pick to replace current Commerce Secretary Gary Locke makes it to the Senate floor.
The president's nominee is John Bryson, who studied at Stanford University and Yale Law School. He is the retired former head of Edison International, the parent company of Southern California Edison, one of the largest electrical companies in the U.S.
But he is, perhaps, best known for co-founding the National Resources Defense Council in the 1970s. The NRDC is a 1.3-million-member worldwide environmental organization that is both respected and feared for its litigiousness and global reach.
