Dodo Session

Dodo Session
A description of how unusually lame the 2008 “lame duck” Congressional session looked set to be.

Writing in The New York Times, David M. Herszenhorn noted:

Lawmakers may yet be back next month, but for now the meager results show why lame-duck sessions often do not work. And why some historians and scholars of Congress, not to mention some of the most prominent lawmakers over history, think that calling such sessions lame is overly generous. …
Democrats are relishing their more robust majority next year – and a Democratic president – and so they saw no reason to cave to Republican demands. Republicans, in turn, while chastened by the election results, saw no reason to fast-forward Democratic control of Washington.
