traffic ticket imagine and you think it s totally unjustified traffic ticket, the cop was wrong manning going to traffic court and you just went and created a parade, you started yelling. and you said this proceeding is ridiculous. i don t have enough rights. you d be locked up. i guess the question is what makes someone who is a member of congress think that the rules don t apply to them, that they can just act whatever way they want? i mean, it s i guess maybe if the president tells you that s a great idea do it. it s like in a jury if friends and acolytes of the defendant storm the jury room and try to help the defendant. the sergeant at arms was asked to take action against the republicans breaching the scif. he don t specify what that looks like. some of the folks sent out videos of themselves violating
