Teach mention the issue with Hastert having a hissy fit over the search of Rep. William Jefferson’s (D-La) Capital Hill office. He is still freaking out.
As John Hawkins at Right Wing News points out:
Moreover, trying to use the Constitution as a shield in this case is pure bunk. If you look at Article 6, Section 1 of the Constitution, it says:
“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.”
Rep. William Jefferson (D-La) is accused of felonies.
Furthermore, his office is NOT HIS! It is the property of the People of the United States of America.

More from Hot Air, where Bryan wonders if Hastert is illiterate.
I wonder if Teach is going to have to add a category for idiot Republicans Congress Critters?
More: Ogre wonders if Congress is above the law, but has no references to Steven Seagal ;)
The Gun Toting Liberal (who I really should read more, rather then delving into the fever swamps of the DU and such) wonders “what we would find if we were to root through all of the drawers and computers of the 535 lawbreakers lawmakers on Capitol Hill.” (say, why am I not listed in the “moderate blogs” roll? :))
Confederate Yankee (I wonder if that is possible?) talks about arrogance.
