Thanks BisQ A thoughtful and decent response.  I'll just note, that when I searched on the question of congressmen/women and arrests, crimes, I read that they only have immunity when Congress is in session, or when travelling to or from, and then only from things other than Treason, etc.  Otherwise, they can be arrested for any crime they commit. Maybe I need to read more, but I can't see how simply being a member of congress makes you immune if you, say, rape someone. Or would you have to be impeached first?  In any case, you raise a few excellent points here that really knit together some of the facts about the current situation in a way I haven't considered before. Thanks.
