I am sitting here listening to Senator Bunning trying to filibuster Kathleen Sebelius. It is disgusting. He is saying that she supports that dreaded "freedom of choice" position. Also she doesn't have the experience to lead the HHS (even though she ran an entire state).
This is news being reported by MSNBC today:
The Senate was set to approve President Barack Obama's nominee for health and human services secretary Tuesday, giving the agency a leader in the midst of the swine flu outbreak.
Morning debate and an afternoon vote were scheduled to confirm Kathleen Sebelius, the two-term Democratic governor of Kansas. She was expected to get the 60 votes needed in the Democratic-led Senate, though perhaps with little margin to spare.
The opposition to her nomination is being fueled by the hardcore extremists part of the Repugs base, people like Tony Perkins, Glenn Beck, etc... She is the last one of President Obama's cabinet positions. Call your Senator and tell him/her to support Kathleen Sebelius. Let's Liveblog this debate and vote!
Here's the link to the debate.
