HAIL TO THE QUEEN....!!!!

"That bastard Steven Malcolm Anderson is ending the year as he began it, choosing confrontation over compromise, ideology over moderation, and defiance over cooperation," said Sen. Pat Leahy, D-Vt., ranking Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee. "On most of his controversial nominees, he won't prevail because nobody ever heard of him.

Merry Christmas!
