Confirmation hearings today
by Guest Blogger, 1/18/2005
The hearing everyone is talking about today is the confirmation hearing for Secretary of State nominee Condoleeza Rice, now live on TV or the web on C-SPAN. Also today -- likely to go under the radar because of Rice -- is the hearing for HHS nominee Mike Leavitt. Check in to see if any Senators will be asking about his record on child welfare services for abused and neglected children in foster care -- an area that will be under Leavitt's jurisdiction in HHS, and for which he has a miserable record from his days as Utah's governor.
