Lame Duck Assault on Democracy

This is the scariest thing you will read today and for many days to come. Not just the prospect of the legislation will scare you but the assault on our democracy that this represents. There should be no "lame duck sessions" in our democracy. If the people want you gone, you should be gone and have no more power to legislate. Jamming through legislation that the poeple have consistently rejected as you exit the scene is about as reprehensible an action a legislator can take, and it is worthy of every form of public scorn, derision and exile from society that we can muster against these bastards.
