Holdren, Lubchenco Finally Confirmed

March 19th, 2009

Posted by: admin

Nearly two months after their official nominations, over one month since their confirmation hearing, and almost three months after John Holdren’s name was announced, both Dr. Holdren and Dr. Jane Lubchenco have been confirmed to their positions.  While Dr. Holdren has functioned as the President’s Science Adviser while waiting for confirmation as Director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy, Dr. Lubchenco has been in limbo.

While Senator Rockefeller (D-West Virginia) has issued a press release on the confirmation, the Senate website does not have the official record of the vote.  As it took place earlier this evening, it should be available tomorrow.  Congressional Quarterly reports that the confirmations passed by a voice vote, indicating little or no opposition, and no record of individual votes.  So I will not be able to see if my prediction was accurate that Senator Vitter would oppose the nominations.

    Sorry, David, no “unthreaded” on this blog, so I stuck it here. Why don’t you comment on the link, just for the hell of it? Do the dreamers really believe in a car that will get 100 mpg and yet offer all the safety benefits and ammenities of current cars AT AN AFFORDABLE PRICE? If so, they are smoking something unlawful.
