On NBC Sen. Feinstein is protected by the First Amendment and on the Senate floor by the Constitution. But say this in public and she is violating the Constitution and could be jailed, if anyone has the cojones.

The 1st Amendment does not provide some sort of magic protection for speech; it merely provides that the right cannot be abridged. This does not mean that this supercedes other speech or that one cannot be taken to task for speech, when appropriate. Sedition is not protected speech.

She should have been jailed a long time ago anyway...but who is goint to prosecute her or her cronies. The same Justice department and clowns who are also "on the take" and beholden to the Mafia like boss in the WH? The acdtivist justices on the courts who were implanted to put on particular dog and pony shows to validate what would otherwise be illegal and illegitmate?

Revolution is coming...
