Should we just send all members of Congress home?
Since the POTUS and the administration have decided that they can selectively ignore, delay or reinterpret existing laws why should our Congress-perps ever pass another law since any future president can now decide they don't like some or all of it?

Because congress never uses ignore, delay, or other political tactics to get what they want?
I want to send them home, not because of the administration, but because they are, as a whole, a bunch of special-interest pandering self-serving crooks that don't play by the same rules as the rest of us.

I have advocated replacing every one of them next election for some years. There are a few really good people who would be lost but the effect on the new ones would be salutary indeed. They might even pay attention to "We, The People..." for a change.
Send them all home and replace them with folks who pay attention.

Re: Should we just send all members of Congress home?
IIRC there is a group that is trying to do this: GOOH. Get out of Our House. They have a website and Facebook page. I remember hearing about them during the 2008 or 2010 election cycle. I haven't seen anything since. They had some good ideas and some that were probably harder to live with (maybe too idealistic to be practical?). It's been a while...

I think it would be better to drop them off in the Amazon rainforest with the clothes on their backs and the contents of their pockets, and see who makes it back.

Strip them of lifetime retirement benefits and healthcare. Make them function in the system that they helped create. That means social security, the reality of the cost of healthcare (pre or post Obamacare)...

I think Eric Holder should give them all "Assault Rifles", whatever those are, (1) 7 round magazine loaded with "Green Bullets" and send them to Chicago to fix the mess they allowed to be created....
