On that, I agree with you. Between the election and the swearing in of the new Congress will be the most dangerous period of legislating prolly in my lifetime.
Which is why I am hoping the day after the election (provided things go our way), Mitch McConnell announces the following:
“The people of America have spoken loud and clear. Let this Congress be put on notice, here and now, that my entire membership will oppose any and all major legislation until the new Congress is seated in January. We will not permit a lame duck Congress to use it’s leftover power to impose things on the American people that they have rejected by their vote yesterday. And we will oppose these things on principle, not on the merits of the individual legislation.”
And then shut the whole damn place down until January.
If only the GOP had the votes to make it happen.
