From the Salt Lake Tribune:
Senators may block confirmation to force drug-import vote

Holding Leavitt's confirmation hostage is a strategy now under consideration by sponsors of legislation aimed at allowing Americans to buy cheaper prescription medications north of the border, according to a spokesman for Sen. Byron Dorgan, D-N.D.
