But what about the message she sent to the people on her email list? Surely that doesn’t have the same protections of the speech and debate clause.
Depends on what a court decides "in either house" to mean. Does it mean physically in the House or Senate chambers? Does it mean "in furtherance of their duties as a congressperson"? I know how I would rule, but I don't know how the Supreme Court would rule.
I don’t think anyone knows how the Supreme Court would rule these days.
My general rule of thumb is "whatever the conservatives want."
I hate so much that that’s true
Why do you hate that the court actually respects the constitution?
Not so much that as the bribery and corruption allegations that a few of the justices have seen recently. That calls into question their integrity and objectivity.
Lol make up retarded allegations and then make up rules to punish people for them. Who's the corrupt one again?
In favor of the constitution
