Harry DunnHOST
I fundamentally believe that the court got it wrong here.
Harry DunnHOST

Zak PaineHOST
And a, a federal appeals court now, for the second time, a court has said, "No, you are not immune." The charged conduct is unambiguously non-legislative.
Zak PaineHOST
The Third Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Cindy Chung had said-- She is a Biden appointee.

Steve GruberHOST
Uh, the decision made by Biden-appointed Judge Cindy Chung and Trump-appointed Judge Stefanos Bibas stated that McIver's argument of legislative immunity would not stand for two of the three counts, while the third count was sent back to a lower court for further review.
Steve GruberHOST
Accountability.
Steve GruberHOST
Actions have consequences, at least they should, and in this case, apparently, for once, they do.
Tim PoolHOST
Even though it occurred during a legislative investigation, a federal appears-- appeals court panel ruled on Wednesday the charged conduct is unambiguously non-legislative.
