Not that Polad is much better, but with no power comes no responsibility. ;p
@michal That's an apt summary. Changing laws requires Congress to pass the change. Congress is composed of the rich and powerful, so they'll rarely vote for something which reduces either of those.
And when a Congress-critter commits a crime, most often Congress will "explain" to the FBI that they have no jurisdiction. Then they have secret hearings to decide what action to take, if any. Usually none. Or "censure", which is a strongly-worded letter.
