The Senate Finance Committee will hold a confirmation hearing next Thursday for Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius to be HHS secretary, the panel announced Thursday.
Sebelius, a Democrat who was President Obama's second choice for the post after former Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle, D-S.D., withdrew from consideration, is expected to face little opposition.
On Tuesday, Sebelius also will appear before the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee in what is being billed as a courtesy hearing.
In other confirmation news, three top Justice Department division nominees won approval Thursday in the Senate Judiciary Committee.
On a single voice vote, the committee approved former Federal Trade Commissioner Christine Varney to head the antitrust division, San Francisco attorney Tony West to lead the civil division and Lanny Breuer, a special counsel to former President Bill Clinton, as head of the criminal division.

I think Sebelious is a person of good sense and he will certainly handle all the situation with ease and wiseness. I wish him good luck.

It is nice to work for the government but most often it requires great responsibility. For commont people it great to stay updated also with the events in the local and even in the internation. I usually read news in between the boring law essay writing.

It's only a "politeness" hearing. Finance Committee gets to vote on HHS Sec. But I would note down, committees have voted on nominees the same day or day after the hearings. Loans online

So Thursday will be the judgment day for Sebelius whether she will be chosen as HHS secretary or not. We just can hope for the best.
