I can understand that rationale, however, when doing something wrong (and most know what that is), it comes down to what one's sense of decency really is. Eg. I'd love to keep a well paying job that was interesting, but not, if suddenly, the rules changed and I was required to start beating a dog every day just to keep the supervisor content. I'd just leave regardless of the personal consequences. But, that's just me, I do realize many don't have the same mindset. I honestly can't make excuses for bad behavior. It's about right & wrong. Period.
Millions of Americans already must support their families on less than half of what members of Congress are paid. Out of those millions, there must be 600 or so who can do as good of a job as Mike Johnson on typical Congressional pay.
Yes! You'd think they'd refuse to carry out unlawful orders! But, I'm thinking they ALL must agree with this shit. 😞
They should go before bar review!!!
Diane Lee,
They may live in fear of losing their jobs if they refuse.

Sociopaths and psychopaths don’t think they way that you do.
You don’t think the way that they do. That’s why you aren’t welcome to join their exclusive club.
Sociopaths cannot distinguish between your concepts of “right and wrong”.

Then they need to find another job.
Many who are loyal to their sponsors will become highly-paid lobbyists.
Always remember that these people were voted into office by “our fellow Americans”.
They are not the real problem. The real problem lies with their wealthy sponsors and the corrupt system that enables them.
Not necessarily. A lot are trying to figure it out and find their consciences.
Find their consciences ? 😒
