Not only do they not get a pass from me for avoiding fixing this because it would have been political suicide, they also get to share the blame. They had a job to do and didn't. Just like the dummies who supposedly didn't vote for the bill because of Pelosi's speech. I hated the bill and I am glad they voted against it but if their reason for voting against this truly was that her speech was mean then they all need to get kicked in the head.
