“Congress-critters have immunity for everything they say during sessions of Congress.”
She posted it on Facebook.
Not even with Bill Clinton’s!
She has immunity for statements made on the floor of Congress. If she was stupid enough to repeat those elsewhere, her life will be filled with lawyers.
Posting it on Facebook means she’ll lose in court.
Nobody can be thet hard up
Yeah, I realized that in my post, and others have said the same. I should have read other comments before I posted.
This strategy should put a bunch of critters on notice. Social media postings are not protected by Congressional immunity. They can say anything during Congressional business so that debate isn’t stifled there. But if they say something slanderous or otherwise illegal and then put it on social media that is outside immunity because saying it on social media has nothing to do with debate in Congress. Same thing with going on a “news” (cough) show and spreading slander. That is NOT protected by immunity.
HOORAY Matt!
Before posting, it helps to read the article to which you intend to post.
Okay, Karen
Give it a try.
