ALERT: Rand Paul is being DETAINED at the Nashville Airport by the TSA

[Bruno]

Msnbc basically condemning him for not allowing the full body pat down saying that everyone else gets touched and patted down therefore he should be no exception...

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.

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

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.

Hmmmm....

 

[The Gold Standard]

you all talk about how its illegal and unconstitutional and all but of all the people illegally detained and searched by TSA has even one of them ever won any kind of lawsuit?

Does it make it less unconstitutional or illegal if they didn't?

What the hell is going on in our country? A sitting US senator is detained without charge by the government while the president declares himself the soveriegn ruler above reproach in the GA court case.

I'm both scared and ashamed.

Art I Sec 6: Section 6.

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.

Unfortunately, TSA believes they are above the law, so that section does not apply.

heads are going to roll. Expect Ron and Rand to submit a bill about TSA soon

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. The courts have ruled on this already.

Becky Aker's prayer for the Pauls:

Almighty God, protect this valiant family as they defend Your celestial gift of freedom. May this newest assault from a gang of rapists, pedophiles, and thieves be the cut that slices the TSA's own throat. Lord God, please, abolish the TSA. I ask this in Christ's name, amen.

AMEN!

Furthermore, detainment != arrest.

Someone was just on Msnbc and stated that he is still being detained.

This is a stupid photo, they can't grope me at the airport.

Ummm...sarcasm? Basically showing how everyone can take the time to contact their congresscritters over SOPA but not find the outrage over TSA.

 

[dcjones]

Is congress in session right now?

 

[CaseyJones]

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

 

[donnay]

You can't filibuster if you aren't there...

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

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
