As I already posted, this immunity ONLY refers to actions on the House/Senate floor and it includes the right to attend all votes in the House/Senate, even if the member of Congress is incarcerated. It is not an immunity from prosecution or detention outside the House/Senate.

Did you miss this part?

and in going to and returning from the same

 

[ghengis86]

Yes, that is why I thought TSA was detaining him.

Debt increase filibuster? Right?

Hmmm... Any chance this is a well-timed publicity stunt to help old folks in Florida see how screwed up the US is right now?
If it is, that's pure genius - I just hope they have everything on video tape because you KNOW the TSA is going to say this never happened and he was never "detained"...
The best possible impact would be if the mainstream media says it's not true, and then someone has it on hidden camera that it did in fact happen - it would call attention to the TSA *and* expose the media spin at the same time!

I haven't flown since prior to 9/11...honestly I'm scared to be put in a position where myself and my daughters, 6 and 8, will be groped...makes me sick

Over the summer I flew and they tried to grope my daughter who was 6 months old at the time. It was in Mexico though

Yes, we should use absolutely no common sense on who may or may not be a terrorist. Grandmothers, people in wheelchairs, little kids, U.S. Senators, all line up for your probing.

yes everyone except middle eastern men from age 14 to 35. They may not be searched because it is racial profiling. We dont racial profile because it is a violation of civil liberties and once we start down that road we cant go back. adjust your sarcasm meter as needed

My colleague Mike Levine reports that a law enforcement official says that Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) was not detained, despite contrary claims.

ChadPergram Chad Pergram
Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX) indicates that TSA "detained" his son Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) in Nashville. Law enforcement says it is not true.

Ya know, I'm thinking Ron probably knows if his son is in TSA custody or not if his son TOLD HIM!

There is a chance of that.

wow. fuck them.

 

[Gary4Liberty]

that was no anomaly ... Paul balls are made of steel

priceless. I love it. I wish Jay Leno would make that joke tonight. and the one about them finding a backbone. That was great too.

Article 1, Section 6 of the Constitution:

"The Senators and Representatives shall receive a Compensation for their Services, to be ascertained by Law, and paid out of the Treasury of the United States. They 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 returning from the same; and for any Speech or Debate in either House, they shall not be questioned in any other Place."

"privileged from Arrest"

Makes you wonder, is this why they use the language "detain", "detainees" etc.?

 

[Dr.3D]

If this is true, there is going to be some bleeding behinds at the TSA. You don't detain a senator when he is going to or from his work.

 

[fuzzybekool]

Why are people in this forum calling it a publicity stunt ? lol

 

[zHorns]

We need to shame the KDP on facebook, twitter and phone lines 502-695-4828

This is some hackish shit.

I replied to them, I live in Louisville and that shit is uncalled for.

Rand has done so much for the people of the Commonwealth...

 

[ZanZibar]

The media is on a mission to make us all stupid.

Of course... they are the 5th branch of the government

 

[ghengis86]

wow. fuck them.

Yep. Setting the narrative first. He wasn't detained. He was politely told to leave. Nothing to see here mundane. Move along.

If the rules stink - then how about you do your job and change them? Until then, follow the rules like the rest of us.

First, I hope he re-thinks the Gestapo antics of the TSA. But thank God they did not accord him special privlidges.
