Kentucky Senator Rand Paul was detained by the TSA today and after a big hoopla the Obama Administration sided with the TSA.
Remember a similar story back in 2004 when Senator Ted Kennedy was detained because his name was similar to one on the “no fly” list?
I have to wonder, doesn’t this violate Article I, Section 6 of the Constitution which provides that members of Congress…
…shall in all Cases, except Treason, Felony, and Breach of the Peace, be privileged from Arrest during their attendance at the Session of their Respective Houses, and in going to and from the same; and for any Speech or Debate in either House, they shall not be questioned in any other Place.
Oh, the joys of living in a police state.
