Congressional Immunity

Why should The Congress not abide


     Or be allowed to set aside


          The laws they promulgate


               Then they'd learn why voters hate


                    The special codes behind which they hide

Actually those guys are so far out of touch with reality that they don't have the first clue! Hopefully the people will send them a message this election and wake them up!
