Article I, Section 6:

They shall in all Cases, except Treason, Felony and Breach of the Peace, be privileged from Arrest during their Attendance at the Session of their respective Houses, and in going to and returning from the same; and for any Speech or Debate in either House, they shall not be questioned in any other Place.

This is called the "Speech and Debate" clause of the Constitution, and should have been mentioned in any high-school level civics discussion of the Constitution.

It is one of the really basic principles of the Constitution.

It's amazing to me how quick people are to toss it away when they feel like it.

You would have locked up Senator Mike Gravel for reading the Pentagon Papers in the record of the Senate.

The disclosure of misappropriate classified material is also a felony.

Now, could you identify the jurisdiction under which this particular act is a felony?

I find most republican men to be the least sexy men on the planet. I figure that is why they are always trying so hard to compensate with power and money.

And they tend to be extremely unattractive as well - Donald Trump, Bill Barr, Steve Bannon, Stephen Miller, Mitch McConnell, Chris Christie, Mike Pompeo, Ron DeSantis, etc. The only way most of them can attract a woman is with power and money.

Mitt Romney comes to mind, but he is an outlier. I'll admit to being biased, though. With most of them, I can't see past the evil and the corruption to be able to objectively evaluate their looks.

but as you say, they are outliers. I didn't even realize it until years ago when I saw a really handsome political consultant on TV and I was shocked to find out he was a republican. Then I began to notice that most of them were quite unattractive. There are a few who are conventionally attractive, but once they start talking, their looks tend to fade.

I agree that Romney is an attractive man and a relatively decent guy, but a little clueless. Darrell Issa (especially when he was younger) is good looking, but it only takes a short time to realize he is a snake. My first impression of Paul Ryan was he was kind of cute, though after awhile I found him a bit goofy looking. That said though, most of them really are rather ick.

I remember when he first ran for office I thought, a guy with a face like that shouldn't go into politics. I guess I underestimated republican voters tolerance for ugly and sleazy! Plus his voice is super creepy.

Runners up: Rudy Giuliani, Stephen Miller, and Steve Bannon. However Bannon was surprisingly good looking when he was young. I guess over the years, his inner self came to the surface.

Growth hormone and testosterone use.
If you look at the changes in her facial appearance over time it is obvious.
And her obsession with the gym and her gym "friends."

Her manic behavior and "friendship" with Gaetz suggests cocaine use as well.

She and Gaetz took a road trip with plenty of online pictures one summer.
Right after that her husband had enough and filed for what promised to
be a very messy divorce. He obviously had dirt on her,
because she immediately $$$ settled and he was quiet after that.

She also had some convoluted argument that there was tax fraud involved, too. She accused him of using the alleged prostitution fees off as a tax write-off, or some such shit. I started tuning her out after a while. She's nuts.

I'm sure that there are many things about her that they could reveal that she would not want known. I don't mean just sex photos, although they could be good for some laughs.

But if she wants to make laptop info public knowledge, why not reveal what's on hers, besides sex? E-mail contacts, actual e-mail contents, and search history could be very interesting. How many J6 insurrectionists did she have photos and e-mail conversations with? Did she send maps of the Capitol to them? What about her banking records? Who gives her money, and how much and when?

C'mon, Ms. Empty. Now that you've put laptop contents in the limelight, what's on yours?

I think it's shitty, I don't know about the legality of all of this.


They shall in all Cases, except Treason, Felony and Breach of the Peace.... etc.


Does the invasion of privacy and sharing of images obtained through a third party merit some legal recourse?

Otherwise, it seems like they could just go out and publish any nude/sex act on the floor (or in committee) on any of their fellow congress people, or any random person they don't like. So people should go out and spy on/film others (or steal someone's personal data), give the vid to a congress critter and you're golden?

This seems above and beyond debate. As many have mentioned here, it appears more like revenge porn (even though Hunter and Marge haven't done nasty together).

What are they debating here and what relevance does Hunter Biden having sex on camera have in this debate?

You say that D.C. laws cannot apply here. Would there be a federal status she is violating?

Just repeatedly posting the Article doesn't really help giving any context other than there's a certain level of immunity. Committing a felony is not protected. Is revenge porn or invasion of privacy (which this seems to include) only a misdemeanor federally?

That's also a felony.

They tried it against DEMOCRATIC Senator Mike Gravel when he read the Pentagon Papers into the Congressional Record.

Yes, those were misappropriated state secrets - which is categorically more sensitive that someone's nude pictures. And, yes, it would have been a violation of federal law but for the fact that he was a Senator engaged in a speech in the Senate. Period. End of story.

They tried it against DEMOCRATIC Rep. John Murtha when he referred to a massacre in Iraq as a war crime.

I expect the other side to piss on the Constitution. I don't expect our side to do it.

Is she a Congressperson? Yes.

Is she making a speech in a Congressional proceeding? Yes.

Then she is immune.

Maybe if it happens enough times, we amend the Constitution to fix it. But most of the time, it protects DEMOCRATS from the fucking fascists on the other side.

I guess what gets me riled up about this stuff is the fascist impulse comes so casually.

showing nude pictures of Hunter Biden is within the scope of her official duties.

Didn't he sue the repair person who provided the hard drive? Maybe Hunter needs to amend that to include this action.

I don't care if he is the President's son. He is a private citizen who has settled with DOJ for whatever it was that he did. They should leave him alone, as it will not save Trump. MTG is a disgusting, heartless skank. Hunter should give an interview where he expresses that he wouldn't touch her with a ten foot pole, no pun intended.

Honest to G-d, she is disgusting. She acts like she doesn't know what two adults can do together, like she just discovered teen sex.

A banning of speech or a banning of the display of images can come from different impulses.

I don't believe anybody that posted in this thread was approaching it with fascist type goals.

253. I'm not proposing going after her if it's indeed protected
Thu Jul 20, 2023, 02:04 PM

just seems like, despite constitutional protections, the constitution is not absolute, there are exceptions all over the place for felonies and treason as mentioned.

The Article specifically mentions those exceptions, so if a congress critter committed a felony, then they should be prosecuted (no matter what side of the isle they stand on).

Whether this would be a felony, I'm not sure about federal law around publishing misappropriated nudes. The Article does specifically mention commission of a felony.

If it's blanket immunity as seems to be implied by your argument, then I suppose, as long as you're debating, you can also shoot someone on the floor? You can commit all sorts of heinous crimes, but as long as you're actively debate, it's all good?

That just doesn't make sense.... If invading someone's privacy, showing misappropriated/non-consensual nudes of a private citizen, is not a felony, then hey, have at it....

According to Meidas Touch, per D.C. law it is only a misdemeanor. He cites the specific code in the video. Ben Meiselas makes some good points why Marge could still land in hot water about this (granted it's extremely unlikely to happen even if she were found not to be protected by the debate clause).



I don't get how this kind of thing is allowed on the floor of Congress (or in committee). It doesn't seem that Marge was debating much of anything (though I guess 'debate' is intentionally vague to allow for loopholes like this).

And as far as the Pentagon Papers vs. non-consensual nudes. The American people definitely had a vested interest in learning about the papers, what purpose does showing Hunter Biden's dick to the American people serve?

Fox and their ilk were I'm sure made well aware, well ahead of the event.

I imagine they'll have a panel arranged to discuss at length whether this was appropriate to do, where the person who initially says "Yeah, No!" is then methodically convinced by the "Absolutely Yes!" person in a totally realistic and organic way.

Pretty much everything on Fox is scripted, being it is "entertainment", not actual news.

The panels are getting really old already. Even MSNBC and CNN overuse them and it ends up being a lot of filler and not much content.

This is simply disgusting behavior. I went to check and was even madder to find out this disgusting woman has 3 children.

He is a private citizen and I hope he sues her so deeply that she cannot afford to eat. Perhaps her ex is a better parent than she has to be and the kids can get out of even visitations.

This is NOT who we are but if she gets away with this it will be.

By holding up posters of Melanoma's girl on girl scenes.

Let the homophobes heads explode.

"Three years before she met husband Donald Trump, Melania Trump was snapped in a nude frolic with another female model, bombshell photos obtained exclusively by The Post show.

The lesbian-themed pics are from a two-day photo shoot in Manhattan in 1995, when Melania Knauss, as she was called, was 25 years old and modeling under the name “Melania K.”

Several were featured in Max Magazine, a now-defunct French men’s monthly, more than 20 years ago. Others have never been in print — until now."
