Yeah, they do need to be pushed more on this.
What gets me is why they don't consider this an *emergency*. Consider all the bullcrap Congress rammed down our throats immediately after 9/11 because it was "needed for homeland security."
Major reform here is needed to protect business in America and we really do need it NOW.
They need to get their priorities right and understand that.

Patent trolls are businesses, too. Congresspersons will not see much difference between a patent troll making 500 million USD a year by suing successful companies and a company making 500 million USD a year by making a useful product. To the politician these things are equal (unless one of the two contributes to a campaign).

Almost all elected politicians are lawyers. So are almost all patent trolls.
There is such a thing called 'professional courtesy'.
Unfortunately for the rest of us when it's lawyers in charge of everything things don't tend to work out very well for non-lawyers.
