The trouble is, most of what the CEO's did was probably legal. Bad judgement isn't against the law. The Congress always had the power to change the law, but they didn't. My opinion is they didn't because they also believed tomorrow would never come, or at least not until after the next election. No percentage in saying "No, you can't."
