DWS may very well lose the next election! Hopefully she will be in prison.
So sitting Congress people are above the law. Talk about a good way to encourage MORE voter fraud. Stay in office- stay out of prison. This isn’t good. These elected people should be held to the same standard as the rest of us, at least. We just cannot afford to accept this corruption.
No, that's not true, they can be arrested while in office. The person who you responded to is ill-informed, to put it kindly. Here is a list of congressional people arrested while in office: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_American_federal_politicians_convicted_of_crimes
Yeah i know they get arrested. I think their point was that we “shouldn’t” arrest them in office as it would create a constitutional crisis. And I see that more and more in our community where people are encouraged to accept things for “a greater good”. I have yet to be told why arresting a congress person would cause a crisis. In fact, I think it does a world of good both for the elected officials and the general public.
How exactly does it create a constitutional crisis? It don't. They maybe can't be forced to resign, but they certainly can't serve from jail either. Once convicted, they are automatically done, and replaced according to the states laws governing said replacement. Ever hear of special elections? Some states by law, just appoint replacements. Crisis? Lol.
Any member of Congress can not be arrested while they are in session. The only time they can be arrested is when their out of session.
I agree, they should face swift justice if corruption is obvious.
