Congress needs to realize that it is their JOB to obstruct somebody who is making an unconstitutional power grab. Their obstruction of tyranny is the only protection we the people have. By giving up that necessary role - however they do it - they are leaving we the people and our form of government defenseless.
If the Congress-critters had been taking their role as a check and balance seriously we would never have ended up with somebody like Eric Holder as the top cop, able to obstruct all federal law enforcement.
We would never have ended up with SCOTUS justice Elena Kagan - a person who pressured a physicians’ group to alter 180-degrees its testimony in the Stenberg v Carhart court case and who has since refused to recuse herself from a case where her position as SCOTUS justice was at issue and a case where she had actually developed the arguments for the defendants.
These Congress-critters who think their job is to just get along and be civil seem totally unprepared to battle for the existence of this country. It’s like they’ve inflicted upon themselves ROE’s that only allow them to watch while the enemy comes in and shoots us all.

Lugar, age 80, and Hatch, age 78
These people don’t live like most Americans. They are treated like royalty in D.C., especially if they are RINOS.
They eat Prime fillet and Maine lobster, take first class junkets, and go to the finest parties. They have Rolls Royce healthcare, huge perks, and numerous other entitlements. Is it any wonder that despite all of the atrocities Obama has committed, nary a peep out of the House or Senate? These people are so far removed from reality, that it is laughable.
