Recent Congressional Votes:
- Senate: Confirmation of Vivek Hallegere Murthy to be Surgeon General
Recent Senate Votes:
Confirmation of Vivek Hallegere Murthy to be Surgeon General, Vote Confirmed (51-43, 6 Not Voting)
The Senate confirmed Dr. Vivek Murthy to be Surgeon General.
Sen. Saxby Chambliss voted Not Voting
Sen. Johnny Isakson voted NO
I have little doubt that Saxby Chambliss is collecting paychecks for the fourth quarter of the year, but here is little evidence of it. The gang of eight is whittled down a little bit, at least for the moment, his replacement David Perdue looks to be cut of the same cloth. Dr. Murthy is known to be an anti-gun advocate but promised during confirmation hearings, that the office of Surgeon General as a not be used as a tool for advancing gun control. There was some negative comments by former office holders suggesting the new Surgeon General has little experience in public health services.
The nomination and conformation smells a little like the placement of a political animal.
It would not be the first time.
