It came as no surprise, given that Colvin has been serving as the Acting Commissioner of Social Security since February 14, 2013, when she stepped in to replace former Commissioner Michael Astrue at the end of his term. Although many are eager to have a permanent leader in place at Social Security, opposition to Colvin's nomination has been voiced loud and clear-most surprisingly by Democrats, members of her own political party.
