Immunity from traffic tickets? Reeks of an “above the law mentality “. Do the right thing and get rid of your insulting law.

Lawmakers are not gods, kings, nor privileged citizens. Rather, they are elected to pass laws that insure safety and health for all of us, regardless of income, race or political persuasion. If they don't respect the laws they make, why should we? They do not have a "life & death" job insofar as needing to speed to perform their jobs; they shouldn't expect special treatment from law enforcement officers if stopped for a D.U.I. or speeding ticket unless they're setting themselves up for a "quid pro quo", which is also illegal. Legislators are normal citizens. They get no privileges over and above ordinary citizens. Period.

Shooting down drones: Time waster. If passed, it would become a "sport", of sorts, to see who could shoot down the most drones. (We always make everything a game, right)? Instead of using this option, why not expand the no-fly zones around military bases instead? If the military shoots them down, so be it.

Two comments: First, the Tweet you posted about Ed Muskie is inaccurate. The false drug allegation from Hunter Thompson did not "basically end" Muskie's run for President. That occurred when he had the misfortune to actually appear to cry in public. How could America elect someone who did that??

Second, everyone who reads the Agenda knows that Howie (never Howard) Fischer is ALWAYS described as the Capitol Media Services SCRIBE. :0)

The Guvs dog looks like it has some sort of skin ailment. The pink blotches could be persistent itch scratching. Common with many breeds. Maybe an allergy. Frenchies are a lot of work. Chronic traffic scofflaws should have their vehicles impounded. Go to the back of the bus.

Doctors used to be immune from all offenses. In the late 70's or early 80's a very drunk doctor killed a bicyclist or a pedestrian. He did not get arrested or charged with any offense. The legislator's quickly removed the get out of jail law for Doctors. I believe Doctors had a special license plate at that time.

Wondering which of the pharmaceutical companies is paying Sinema? Seems she does almost nothing without getting personal riches from it.
