This is incredibly shallow thinking. The government in the U.S. is an elected body. Elections have consequences. This is one of them. You can blame the individual politicians and want to see them die a painful death since it might be emotionally satisfying for you, but the reason the politicians are there in the first place and the reason they pull the lever the way they do has a little to do with their own personal viewpoints and more to do with the people who put them there.
