Senator Leahy sings to Senator Sessions in effort to move judicial nominations

[usregimechange]

Leahy signs "Silent night" and "O Tannenbaum" to Sen Sessions, in the spirit of the Holidays, in an effort to pass judicial nominees out of the Judiciary Committee.

Senator Ebenezer Sessions responds by griping about how Bush nominees were neglected years ago and proceeds to hold over O. Rogeriee Thompson to be United States Circuit Judge for the First Circuit.


The Senate Judiciary Committee held an executive business meeting to consider pending nominations and legislation on December 17, 2009.
