You responded to me but I responded to this:

nobody gives a tinker's damn what she does in her private life (something it would be nice if

the bigoted, reichwing nutjobs practiced). it is what she does when on OUR TIME AND DIME that we care about.

Your response:
Eich found out that freedom of speech only covers the Government from punishing you for stupid and bigoted opinions. He is still rich and he never went to jail - never directly denied anyone ANYTHING. He did discover that being a public asshole has ramifications.

Ramifications from whom? This is the point I was making way up thread where someone's meme said she had every right to be a bigot on her own time, like people will just drop this once she resigns. Her life is ruined. I don't have sympathy for her as she brought it on herself but do you think her opponents are going to let her walk off into the sunset, have you not seen the viciousness of her attackers? Murderers get better treatment.

I don't support her, she should have resigned.
