They did an emergency session to pass a law that, to put it mildly, offends the sensibilities of anyone who dislikes the idea of federal intervention in matters which do not concernm them, costing them dearly at the polls and hurting their chances to get ANYTHING else done, AND THEN the same people who demanded THAT little fiasco now vilify them "for not going far enough".
Not to minimize the suffering and tragedy of this case, but when exactly did it become the most important issue on the planet? Why exactly does the whole country have to grind to a halt over a family dispute in Florida, which has already been adjudicated?
And when, exactly, did someone decide that this whole thing issue trumps ALL OTHER issues before the American people?
According to the latest Gallup poll, something like 80% of the people think the government was wrong to take this step. So now 20% of the people decide to ignore everything else, even their OWN party's agenda to the point of calling for federal troops, and it's suddenly OK because it's "our" issue?
Has the world gone mad?
Catholics will understand the terms used in this article, but if this person is on to something, and I happen to agree with him, then the results will affect this country in ways we cannot even imagine right now. Flame on :-)
The battle of good vs evil is about to enter an even graver time....interesting how we're approaching Easter ...hmmmm

While, at the same time, greatly increasing the political cost of failing to get things done ("Why the hell can't they get their rears in gear like that to enact tax cuts / Social Security reform / border security / insert issue here ?")
AND THEN the same people who demanded THAT little fiasco now vilify them "for not going far enough".
Yep, and by the time they realize the result (political leaders throwing up their hands and deciding that these people are just impossible to satisfy, so there's no point lifting a finger to do anything at all for them), it'll be too late.
Has the world gone mad?
Nah, it's been mad for some time. This is just a particularly obvious psychodramatic episode.
