An excellent point. It’s appalling, but hardly surprising.
It brings up another question: why do we let a lame-duck Congress do *anything* at all? A company that fires an employee doesn’t let them keep their keys and network access for a couple of months. Why do we let Congress when they’ve been fired?
I suppose, normally, they haven’t typically done very much so it’s never been such a big deal. But now it’s different. I don’t remember any previous Congress that’s been so openly vindictive toward the will of the people.

I agree. It was a chickens**t move to push this through in a lame-duck session. There shouldn't even be lame-duck sessions! The two month period following elections should be reserved for administrative work, handovers, setting up offices, getting staffers hired and relocated, etc.
