Noone should be allowed to speak in a foreign language on the floor of Congress. Shameful act by Martinez.

Is there some sort of exemption to the first amendment for members of congress? I must have missed that part. Seems like your side only wants to follow the law when it comes to foreigners.

No one should be allowed to post without reading the article...which in this case says that the Senator asked and received permission to speak in Spanish for the record, along with an English translation.
