Senate leaders are attempting to confirm Democratic Gov. Kathleen Sebelius of Kansas as Health and Human Services secretary this week. The task is no small feat given today's budget votes, but senators hope to get her installed in the post before they leave for the two-week spring recess.
"That's the whole reason we're having this hearing, to get her confirmed this week," Senate Finance Chairman Max Baucus, D-Mont., said today as Sebelius faced questions from panel members. Former Senate Majority Leader Robert Dole, R-Kan., introduced Sebelius at the hearing and asked the committee to confirm her this week. Referring to HHS headquarters, he joked that Sebelius "can't even get in the building." It was her second hearing this week, following one Tuesday with the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee.

It is a good move by senate leaders. This will be a great decision by them and they will not have to regret on it.
