Speech & Debate Clause Needs To Be Repealed To Allow Prosecution Of Government Liars & Criminals

The criminals who run the US Government routinely lie to the American People, from the floors of Congress, and then hide behind the Speech and Debate clause to prevent being held accountable for their malicious lies. This needs to end immediately! Any member of the US Government who knowingly lies on the House or Senate Floor should be charged with crimes and prosecuted much more harshly than any normal citizen!

Criminals like disgraced dumbfuck liar Adam Schiff have made a career of lying and slandering people from the House floor, and then hiding behind the Speech and Debate Clause like the complete fucking nutless pussy that he truly is! If there was justice in America, Adam Schiff would be rotting in a prison cell for the rest of his life!

Call for the Repeal of the Speech or Debate Clause

It is time to consider a significant change to one of the foundational aspects of our legislative process: the repeal of the Speech or Debate Clause found in Article I, Section 6, Clause 1 of the U.S. Constitution.

This clause, which immunizes members of Congress from prosecution or civil suits for any “Speech or Debate” in either House, was originally intended to safeguard legislators from executive overreach. However, in today’s political climate, its relevance and utility are increasingly questioned. Repealing this clause would ensure that members of Congress are held to the same standards of conduct as everyone else, promoting transparency and integrity in our government.

With the evolution of media and technology, legislative actions and speeches are more public than ever, making the original purpose of protecting legislators from executive intimidation less applicable when every speech and debate can be scrutinized by the public in real-time.

No one should be above the law, including members of Congress, and if legislators are to be true representatives of the people, they should not enjoy privileges that set them apart from the citizens they serve.

Repealing the Speech or Debate Clause would align with the constitutional principle of equal protection under the law and could serve as a deterrent against corruption, ensuring that any misuse of power can be legally addressed.

Enhanced judicial oversight would allow courts to more directly address issues arising from legislative conduct, potentially strengthening public trust in our democratic institutions by ensuring Congress is subject to the same legal scrutiny as other branches of government. While there’s a real concern about the chilling effect on legislative debate, modern times have shown that legislators can express their views robustly without the need for such broad immunity. The repeal of the Speech or Debate Clause would not be without its challenges and would require careful consideration to ensure that it does not unduly restrict the legislative process. However, the benefits of increased accountability, transparency, and equality before the law might outweigh the historical protections this clause offers. It’s time for a national conversation on whether this constitutional provision still serves the best interests of our democracy or if its repeal would lead us towards a more accountable and transparent legislative body.
