Notable Quotes CONFIRMING Lame Duck
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, Nev.: "We’re bound to come back in a lame-duck session. … Maybe after the elections we can get some help from Republicans on these key issues."

Sen. John Kerry, Mass. on cap-and-trade: “We are going to continue to work. If it is after the election, it may well be that some members are free and liberated and feeling that they can take a risk or do something."

Sen. Tom Harkin, Iowa on card check: “to those who think it’s dead, I say think again. We're still trying to maneuver.”

Sen. Kent Conrad, N. Dak. on taxes and spending expects “one of the most significant lame-duck sessions in the history of the United States.”

Sen. Jay Rockefeller, W. Va. on the left’s lame duck agenda: “I've got lots of things I want to do.”

Arizona Rep. Raul Grijalva, Ariz., co-chairman of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, on the lame duck agenda: “the lame duck would be the last chance, quite honestly, for the foreseeable future.”

Notable Quotes AGAINST Lame Duck
Sen. Susan Collins, Maine: "Not going to play that game." That would be "just wrong" and "blatantly against the will of the people."

Lindsey Graham: "I promise I will not vote yes on any policy bills during the lame duck session. I will even sign something if you want me to."

Sen. Russ Feingold, Wis.: "By allowing votes just after an election but before the newly elected Congress takes office, lame-duck sessions provide an opportunity to override the public's will as expressed at the ballot box. Rather than schedule a lame-duck session this year, Congress should complete its work before the upcoming elections."

Rep. Mike Castle, Del.: "The only business that should be conducted during a lame duck session of Congress is keeping the government running until the newly elected legislators are sworn-in. I do not agree with those who say this period of time should be used for passing controversial legislation and would not play a role in helping to circumvent the will of American voters."

Rep. Mark Kirk, Ill.: "The only legitimate thing for the Congress to do is to pass a short-term continuing resolution to keep the doors open -- and let the voice of the American people as communicated through their new representatives and senators speak in January."
