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.
