Last night, it seemed as though the Solis nomination would get put off until after recess. It looks like there will be a Solis vote today, a labor source emails me. (Of course, Congress being Congress delays are always possible.) This comes just in time as the Service Employees International Union along with Latino, environmental and other groups will drop more than 10,000 petitions at the committee’s door to advocate for Solis’s confirmation. Not surprisingly they have a video along with the petition that you can see here.
