Fame Duck

The repeal of DADT, the New START Treaty, a sweeping food-safety bill, the Zadroga 9/11 health bill, at last a handful of judicial nominee confirmations, and who knows what else.... Face it, this is an historically accomplished "lame duck" to cap the historically accomplished Do Something 111th Congress. I am far from pretending I've enjoyed these last two years, and no reader of Amor Mundi is unaware that plenty has passed that I disapprove of mightily and plenty has failed to pass that I regard as urgently necessary, but credit where credit is due.
