You are right that Congress has shirked its Constitutional duties for decades. So have the Executive and Judicial branches. The former by being complicit in growing the executive behemoth instead of pushing the legislative to do its proper constitutional job. And the Judicial by increasingly becoming political and legislating from the bench. Congress has willingly ceded its power and proper role to not only the other two branches, but to lobbyists, staffers, and assorted monied power brokers. The situation is disgusting.
