Privilege

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.

Note how this has gotten expanded.

Pretty narrow, eh?  Can't be arrested (except for certain categories of offenses) at certain times and in certain places, and can't be sued nor prosecuted for words uttered in the halls of Congress.  Sort of a necessary level of privilege, really, and limited to what's necessary.

And yet... somehow, when Mad Maxine attends an officially unofficial gathering (i.e., not in either House), in violation of local curfew, and commits incitement to riot and jury intimidation, the only possible consequence to her would be some sort of internal discipline by the House, which won't happen because she's a Party member in good standing.

Isn't this getting into titles of nobility territory, here?  It's certainly yet another gross violation of equal protection of the Law.
