There’s been a lot of pundit stategerizing about the lame duck session that started today, but I have a question: just how much is it possible, even theoretically, to get done? I figure there’s a maximum of 20-25 calendar days available before final adjournment, and as we all know, Republicans have loads of procedural roadblocks available to them that eat up calendar time. So what’s the most that can get done? Two bills? Maybe three? Is more than that even conceivable?
Any congressional wonks care to weigh in on this and set expectations for us?
