I wasn't saying Congress shouldn't be prosecuted. I was describing the prevalent American mindset and the reasons why we are were we are.

I understand, I wasn't suggesting that you had made the claim that congress shouldn't be prosecuted, I apologize for the misunderstanding.

My point is that the “American mindset” really has nothing to do with federal laws.

If the actions of the congressmen rises to the level of treason, I believe that they will be prosecuted without fail, and that because this has never happened, either it is not treason, or or government is really not accountable to US at all.

>government is really not accountable to US at all.<

I’m afraid you’ve got that right. My point was that it is the American uncaring mindset (and some of the reasons for it) that has brought us to this point.
Federal laws are only selectively observed as it is, and the arrogance of some in the Congress is outrageous. Who would bring suit against these people? What leftist-activist court would convict them? And who will end up paying the bill?
