- virgil_disgr4ce 6y agoHaha, wow, treason and breach of the peace seem pretty salient here
- ianai 6y ago“Breach of the peace “ is very obviously what the radical representatives are violating from definition. Note also that while they may not be arrested by the executive, the legislative branch absolutely does police itself. It’s one of those corner cases the last several years pointed out as a pain point. Edit-there’s talk of making it a 5,000$ fine per incidence on the news.
