    If Obama’s a lame duck and can’t pick a SCOTUS nominee, why should lame duck senators get to do anything? http://huff.to/1S1Jg7U  @mmcauliff

        @aterkel @mmcauliff A Pres isn't technically a lame duck til after his successor is elected. Go @POTUS!! Stay strong.

        @aterkel @mmcauliff Unless they refuse to get out of bed for a year, how could they possibly do less than they are already doing?

        @aterkel @mmcauliff But isn't there a key diff between "lame duck" and "last year in a term"? Senators still CAN be reelected.

        @aterkel @mmcauliff No one is saying Obama can't "pick SCOTUS nominee". He can. But a nominee is only confirmed with Senate consent.

        @karl_nittinger @aterkel @mmcauliff I hear he's very eager to consent to (sign) the bills they pass in the House and Senate.

        @aterkel @mmcauliff Let's propose that Senators be paid on what they actually do and save the taxpayers' money. We'll pay -0-!

        @aterkel @mmcauliff How does a political reporter not know what a "lame duck" is? Amazing.

        @aterkel @mmcauliff With that said, I obviously think the Repubs are acting totally bananas here.

        @aterkel @mmcauliff Then the Democrats should have confirmed Robert Bork when Reagan nominated him, right?
