The Chicago Crime Syndicate (i.e., the obama administration) is on top of their game ... why change anything now? Besides, they are totally confident that the scared-out-of-their-collective-minds, lazy men (a.k.a., the two Republican caucus leaders in the House and Senate) will do anything at all to challenge the Syndicate based on the opposition party leaders' recent pronouncements that they are more interested in "compromise" and in "getting along".
Defending the Constitution and upholding the Rule of Law (or representing their conservative base for that matter) appears no longer to enter into their political calculations.
We desperately need leaders in DC that will fight the Rats and these two are not them.
