“Since Plaskett is neither a Representative nor a Senator, the “speech or debate” clause would not apply to her.”

Agreed

Like your thinking!

“Non-voting Delegate” ain’t Congressman nor Congresswoman. She ain’t a member of that club.

[Political Junkie Too]

She only has permissions like voting when in committee. She is ineligible to vote for bills on the floor of the House, therefore she is not covered by the speech or debate clause.

Democrats run the risk of making a delegate the ranking member of a subcommittee because those members are not protected from what they say.
