    No one expects “protection”, we expect them to lift a finger to do the job they were sent to washington to do,

    What were they sent to Washington to do, again?

        They were sent to Washington to participate in the legislature. I could go for several more details here, but the core of it comes down to - they were sent to Washington to protect the rights and interests of their constituents through the passage and restriction of laws.

        ie ‘protection’.
