If Congress were genuinely concerned about “a nation-state attack on the United States,” assuming that’s what actually happened here, members could return to session to consider a response to the emergency. Indeed, Mike Rogers himself could help lead the way, demanding that elected lawmakers get right back to work immediately. When Russia went to war with Georgia, George W. Bush was on vacation. When the Nigerian underwear bomber tried to blow up a plane over Michigan, Bush was on vacation (which he refused to cut short). When Hurricane Katrina hit, Bush was on vacation. After Bush launched an invasion of Iraq on a Thursday, he took a break at Camp David just 48 hours later. There’s no record of Rogers, who was in Congress at the time, complaining about the Republican president’s frequent breaks in the midst of international crises. Until Congress is willing to do an ounce of work for the money and benefits they receive they can all STFU.
