B-Man Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 CHARLOTTE HAYS: Democratic Rep Suggests that Members of Congress Are Above Ordinary Sexual Conduct Rules. Congress over the years has made itself a privileged class. A quip from Rep. James Clyburn, Democrat from South Carolina, says it all. When asked why, unlike Harvey Weinstein, Matt Lauer, Bill O’Reilly, and Charlie Rose, Rep. John Conyers, the scourge of the elevator, is keeping his job, Clyburn instantly replied, “Who elected them?” Got that? Members of Congress are a protected class, insulated from the consequences of their deeds. There is even secret fund, paid for by us taxpayers, to defray the cost of settlements when our public servants (ha ha) step out of line and harass someone. Our elected officials vote in ObamaCare but are made exempt from having to rely upon ObamaCare themselves. Many Americans aren’t aware of the extent to which Congress has set itself up as a quasi-nobility (without being noble). Voters probably think their elected representatives are struggling with increasing ObamaCare premiums just as they are. Joke’s on us, my fellow taxpayers. I’m not laughing. .

If it's not explicitly in the Constitution, it was established principle shortly after. Congressmen can't be tried for crimes through normal judicial channels while Congress is in session, to prevent abuse of that system by the executive (e.g., arresting the opposition party on trumped-up charges). And since Congress is always effectively in session these days, they're practically immune from prosecution. For bad behavior not of a criminal nature, of COURSE they can be removed from office. It's called "an election." People whining about Congressmen's exemption from ramifications of their actions are the ones setting them up as nobility.

row_33 Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 all government employees are exempt from lawsuits over the work they perform, that's essential to taking on a job that has to tick people off no matter what you do with the addition they can be sued for extreme negligence or criminal behaviour.

How? That article makes it sound like the acvuser hired an attorney to tell the New Yorker in order to get the guy fired. I hope that's just because it's a ****ty article. We've definitely hit the point where a jilted girlfriend can thoroughly !@#$ up your life with a vague, anonymous allegation of "inappropriate touching."
