2. Blaming senators for the law is wrong because they only expressed the will of the people. So who is to blame? As according to rule 1. the people, even the ones who actually performs the evil acts and receive direct material benefits for doing it, can't be blamed.
It is like in Bush's tortures - lawyers said its ok to torture and can't be punished for that, torturers acted based on lawyers advice and can't be punished for that... It is human nature that dropping personal responsibility unleashes all kinds of evil.
