"They're trying to make it sound like he is a dedicate Representative who was just trying to get to a House Vote (at 2:45 AM)."

I read elsewhere that Congresspeople cannot be arrested coming or going to congress. It is an immunity. Old days enemies were detained before votes by trickery.

The suggestion was that Kennedy made up this claim not for a cover story why he was out late, but to invoke a right from arrest.

And he should be disciplined by the House for wrongfully and dishonestly invoking it.

Absolute BS, he should be arrested for making a false statement to a police officer, one of us serfs would have gone straight to jail. When the fix is in, the fix is IN! Disgusting......
