I wonder if a senator would be convicted on the the floor for putting a beat down on this effeminate pansy.
Funny you should mention that, I was thinking of the Brooks beatdown of Sumner.
It was the opposite of the scenario you propose (a South Carolinian caning a Yankee/outsider), but considering Lindsey, they can have him.
I’d even do what a lot of Brooks supporters did back in the day: send him another cane with a letter saying “HIT HIM AGAIN!”.
