really going all-out on blowing up the checks and balances and separation of powers in America in a way tenfold more dangerous than the previous envelop pushing that always backfired on them when Republicans inevitably did the same. Its a clear cut case, no liability can be attached to the conduct and speech of congressmen during their legislative activity. Its right there in the constitution in Article I, Section 6, Clause 1. Democrats and judicial activists beholden to them can't go out and try to pick apart every statement made by a sitting member of congress while in session and carve out an exception for every sentence as to whether its protected or not. The founding fathers were pretty explicitly clear in telling anyone attempting that to fuck right off. What were they supposed to do, put in an extra super special safeguard in the language of D&D autists and say congressmen and all activities within a 25 foot radius of them for a duration of 4D6 turns shall be immunized?
C'mon, Lindsey Graham should not be the victim in anyone's story
Because there is absolutely no possible conflict of interest with Thomas getting involved in any case involving J6. None whatsoever.
Also, Article I, section 6, clause 1 specifically has this exception:
Quote
They shall in all Cases, except Treason, Felony and Breach of the Peace
The Georgia case is a criminal one, not civil.
