I beg the author's pardon, but the article appears to contain an error.
The article referenced mentions that the nominees were approved by the Senate Judiciary Committee. It does not report that they were confirmed by the full Senate.
Lastly, the referenced article mentions that "A budget of one or two million dollars a year is a small price to pay to help protect us from a growing government." Actually, the budget is ten times that (42 U.S.C. sec. 2000ee(m)(4)).

The Senate Judiciary Committee website, another source, and the New York Times report that NO ACTION has been taken to confirm the nominated Chairman, David Medine. The Chair is directed to hire staff (42 U.S.C. sec. 2000ee(j)(1)).
