"The attorney general continues to believe that the Senate's action is unconstitutional and will decide how to proceed from here," Kane spokesman Chuck Ardo said.
Though all of the Democrats in the Republican-controlled chamber joined their GOP colleagues in approving the hearing, several cautioned that their decision did not mean they would vote to remove her.
"While we agree there should be a hearing, we remain cautiously concerned about what happens after that," said Sen. Anthony H. Williams (D., Phila.).
At least one Republican - Sen. Stewart J. Greenleaf of Montgomery County - said he, too, was concerned that a removal hearing was premature.
Though she has a suspended license, Kane is still a lawyer, he said.
"She continues to be a member of the bar," Greenleaf said. "I think it's important for us to explore this . . . before we go too far down the road."
In deciding whether to remove Kane, the Senate has relied on a provision of the state constitution that allows the governor, after a two-thirds vote in the Senate, to remove an official from office for "reasonable cause."
Republicans control 31 seats in the Senate. If the party votes as a bloc, Kane's opponents would need to pick up only three Democratic votes.
