Nerditorial: I call Bravo Sierra On The Lame Duck Lament

You can't have your Lame Duck a L'Orange and eat it too.

There is a narrative hitting the atmosphere that is just really chapping my entire ass.

It is about the propriety of taking action during a lame duck session Congress (Remember, Congress is really the term for both the House and the Senate.)

I touched on it briefly earlier today here.

And I see that this is some sort of ill concieved talking point that is making the rounds quite promptly.

A wreath of sour grapes. How festive.

If this nonsense about the validity of the lame duck session comes up from one of your more liquored up conservative friends and/or family this season, be ready with this come back:

"Are you keeping your lame duck tax cut?"

Remember, the same lame duck session that repealed DADT and ratified this START treaty also passed those tax cuts. And all of the conservatives, TEA Party Patriots, and other self-styled constitutional scholars had no issue with that being done in a lame duck session.

If the tax cuts were legit during this session, then so was everything else.

Now drink your egg nog, eat your pie, and shut the hell up...

oh, and have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year (You know... the Happy Holidays)
