Congress granted him that wish because it shows they're doing something - even if it's the wrong thing - and I'm not sure that Congress knows the difference between right and wrong.
When the wine stirred in their heart, their bosoms dilated.
They rose to suppose themselves kings over all things created-
To decree a new earth at birth without labor or sorrow-
To declare: "We prepare it today and inherit tomorrow."
They chose themselves prophets and priests of minute understanding,
Men swift to see done, and outrun, their extremest commanding
Of the tribe which describe with a jibe the perversions of Justice
Panders avowed to the crowd whatsoever its lust is.
-Kipling (an excerpt from THE CITY OF BRASS)

I love how justice rhymes with lust is. :-)
"I'm not sure that Congress knows the difference between right and wrong."
I'm sure. They don't know.
