      Don’t they get immunity for things said on the floor? Otherwise I’m not sure but that’s the only restriction I’ve heard on it, and even that may have limits. Couldn’t read the article either so just reverted to reading the headline and commenting, as is tradition.

        Only if it’s in pursuit of their duties.

        Hard to see how incitement of an insurrection applies

        For example, if you were having a discussion about socialism and providing health care and stuff… you’d be immune for saying that the republicans are in the pockets of big corpo, that would be protected.

        If boebert walked in and just announced that Greene likes rainbow kitten stuffed animals…. Well first, greene’d have to prove it’s not true, and that it was intentionally a lie
