Now that I don't know. If so, then I suspect she'd no longer be covered, unless a court were to interpret speech pertaining to her role as congressperson anywhere to be the same as "in either house". I could see a good faith argument for it, but if Judge Wagesj45 was on the case, I don't think I'd rule in their favor.

wagesj45 , 11 months ago to men in Men do not seem like they are proud to be men, and this is detrimental to their mental health. We need to celebrate men instead of demonizing them.

Being gay or trans is also inherent, and because of societal push back, we've decided that being proud of those immutable attributes is appropriate. Masculinity gets a bad wrap in a lot of ways, and the healthy expressions of it should be something to be proud of, in my opinion.

The text of the SDC is very broad. Any limitation on it would almost certainly have to come from the Supreme Court.

As shitty as it was, it is almost certainly explicitly constitutionally protected. She could be censured or expelled from congress, but it was not a crime by virtue of being done in her capacity as a representative.

As repulsive a move as this is, I'm afraid that the DC law almost certainly won't apply in this case. This was done as part of her official "speech" as a representative.

The speech and debate clause, which appears in Article 1, section 6, of the U.S. Constitution, was written before the First Amendment and has a more limited scope.

The clause, whose inclusion reflected the development in England of an independent Parliament, states that “for any Speech or Debate in either House, they [members] shall not be questioned in any other Place.” It follows a provision, now largely moot, that prevents the arrest, for civil cases, of members traveling to or from sessions of Congress.

This is probably the most humane answer. But it would certainly be cathartic to see a bunch of dipshit millionaires and climate change deniers lose everything.

He has the Trump crazy, but not the Trump rizz. Trump is undeniably entertaining to watch, even as he burns shit down around him.

Like I said, there are some things we do extremely well. Sharing the wealth of the country amongst the citizens of the country is something we fail at miserably. My personal favorite thing is the first amendment to the constitution because I happen to value freedom of thought. Another thing we tend to do really well. Our culture also has a certain resilience that I appreciate. I only hate on America because I know what it could be if there was collective pushback on the oligarchy that seems to have so many of us in a trance.

No one said balkanization was a good thing. Just that it happens, and is currently happening, being driven by multi-billion dollar media corporations trying to inflame a culture war to keep the lower classes occupied. They were too successful, and the wheels are starting to come off.

We might be able to fix it, but the current trajectory is pretty clear.

Sounds like copium to me. We have a few good things going for us, but to say we're far and above every other country is insanity.

A barely necessary evil given how tight everything is. I wouldn't feel bad if he stepped on a lego, though.

At some point the responsibility falls on the workers to unionize. I'm aware that is painful. It is also the only true answer because if we wait on the corporate overlords to benevolently raise wages to an acceptable living standard and disband tipping, we'll be waiting forever.

Nothing wrong with practical. I'll often name a VM by what service is going on to it as a temporary measure until I'm sure it's going to work out and give it its final name.
