Monday morning, wake up and start calling your Congresscritters. Be polite but tell them this isn’t going to fly.
If they’re Democrats, remind them that this is the same script that lied our men and women into dying in Iraq for no reason.
If they’re Republicans… well, it might be a wasted call, but maybe you could remind them that at one time, “conservative” meant “fiscal responsibility”, and that letting bad actors off the hook isn’t exactly responsible. I don’t know if that’ll work.
