Sen. Russ Feingold, writing at Huffpo, tells us to beware the lame duck Congressional session.

It would be a huge mistake to overlook the potential for damage in the lame duck session. A lame duck session doesn't sound like anything to worry about, but this lame duck may be a lot more dangerous than people think. We can expect Republicans to try to jam through as much of their agenda as they can while they have the chance.

The biggest threat: Bush's push to legalize his warrantless eavesdropping program.

There are a lot of bad bills that the Republicans may try to ram through, but here's the worst of the worst - a bill to legalize the President's warrantless wiretapping program. The White House is desperate to enact this bill, which allows the government to spy on American citizens, on American soil, without a warrant.

Other bills they will try to push through: tax cuts and trade policy.
