They're not sitting by spellbound. Each congressional representative is politicking, stunting, saying whatever they think their constituents want them to say and doing whatever they think scores them political points.

These congresspeople are playing very obvious strategies, often dishonest strategies, but we keep reelecting them so why would they actually do their jobs?

They're not sitting by spellbound. They're putting on the show that we reward them for.
