With former Health and Human Services Secretary-nominee Tom Daschle out, Rep. Hilda Solis (D-Calif.), President Obama’s nominee to run the Department of Labor, is the most controversial pending cabinet appointee.
Republicans are asking about Solis’ roleas treasurer for American Rights at Work, the pro-union group that’s currently on the Hill pushing for the Employee Free Choice Act. The most daring strategy against Solis that I heard floated (not from a Hill Republican, but from a conservative activist) was to focus attention on her by filing a complaint against her with the House Ethics Committee. What would be the charge? Either that she participated in lobbying by being a leader with ARW, or that she erred by originally not mentioning this job in her disclosure documents.
Two reasons this might not work: Solis’ role in ARW was well-known and ceremonial (it’s on their Website), and no congressman has hinted that he/she would file a complaint that could make a splash but be deemed frivolous and politically motivated. Still, I heard some hope that “one of the ‘wingers” might ante up.
