It seems the D.C. establishment woke up last Thursday morning reminded that it governs only with the people's consent. Polls showed that the more people knew about the bill, the more likely they were to oppose it. The opposition of average Americans to the bill was so intense that it shut down the Senate's Internet server and flooded the phone system beyond its capacity. Senators were astonished by the volume and intensity of the reaction, and, in the end, they voted accordingly.

The survival instinct. The survival of their criminal outrageous pensions...

Most americans no matter how dense, know the basics of government:

There are three branches.
Legislative, they create the laws.
Judicial, they make sure that new laws conform to our Constitution and legally adopted Amendments.
The Executive, which is the only branch empowered Constitutional to carry out the laws.

Two observations.
Without the executive doing its job the other two are useless.
The first branch, the legislature, is not allowed to implement laws.

There you have it. All the laws passed and "approved" are totally useless if they're not implemented; e.g. the 1986 Amnesty Fraud.

Exactly!
