Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) is not happy about the recent productivity of the lame duck Congress, and blamed the GOP for allowing it to happen. “When it’s all going to be said and done,” he said on Fox News Radio today, “Harry Reid has eaten our lunch. This has been a capitulation in two weeks of dramatic proportions of policies that wouldn’t have passed in the new Congress.”
“The lame duck session was meant to basically transition from one Congress to the next, not take every special interest item the liberals want and pass it in two weeks,” he added.
The lame duck session between the mid-term elections and the beginning of the 112th Congress has seen a bipartisan deal on tax cuts, the repeal of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, and the likely ratification of the START nuclear arms reduction treaty.
