Republicans continue to block any nomination vote on Obama's Labor Secretary, Hilda Solis. Today's Senate committee vote was delayed again when Republicans insisted they needed far more time to discuss Solis' work as treasurer of a pro-labor group. Now, they want more time to discuss her husband's tax lien issues, and Republicans are now screaming that Solis should immediately withdraw.
The Employee Free Choice Act scares these people so much that any Labor Secretary who would actually enforce it will not be tolerated by the GOP in any way.
[UPDATE]Labor committee senior Republican Mike Enzi of Wyoming explains there's no chance whatsoever that Solis's nomination will be acted upon anytime soon.
