The U.S. Congress and Legalized Lawlessness

Congressional insiders make and break the rules: 

The lawlessness of our Congress is surfacing from Washington D.C. to Wall Street and guess who they are?  They are our trusted representatives:

Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples,
Saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat:
All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, [that] observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not.
For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay [them] on men's shoulders; but they [themselves] will not move them with one of their fingers.
But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments,
And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues,
And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi.
---MATTHEW 23.1-7

UPDATE:
So what do they do?  They design useless legislation to make us feel better.  This will do nothing.  They need to prosecute the lawless which they won't do.  Congress is too big and crooked to fail:
