[teenlaqueefa]

Dang Mike Pence?

@1gg

Pence to fight subpoena, so not so law and order, maybe he is not Mr. Clean after all.

Q-tip never was Mr. Clean. He was always quite clear that he’d prefer to stay in power if a way to do so could be found that fit within the letter of the Constitution.

And the testimony will not relate to any speech or debate.

The cherry on top of the bogus argument is his book.

Let’s not bring Roger Miller into this, ok?

Mother won’t let him have a cherry on top.

Absolutely.

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Sure hope you didn’t forget.

1. Bought Mrs. Dr. Strad a dozen mixed roses on Saturday.

2. Ordered a box of DeBrand chocolates last week. She’ll get those today.

3. Took her out for a steak dinner last night (I have a rehearsal tonight, so couldn’t do it tonight.)

4. Have V-day cards from me, the round mound of hound, and the c-c-c-c-c-cat.

5. Have her anniversary gift for Friday (27 years): a Visconti fountain pen and a nice three pen case for her purse.

6. Have anniversary cards for Friday.

The only thing I haven’t done yet is find a love poem for the anniversary card.

I think I got this under control.

Mike Pence is neither a Senator nor a representative.

Next argument.

I keep thinking that the people making the S&D argument, and also the EP arguments,
don’t really understand what the law is. However, they seem to have what is at least a partially receptive audience.

@txlawyer

Article I, Section 6, Clause 1:

The Senators and Representatives shall receive a Compensation for their Services, to be ascertained by Law, and paid out of the Treasury of the United States. They shall in all Cases, except Treason, Felony and Breach of the Peace, be privileged from Arrest during their Attendance at the Session of their respective Houses, and in going to and returning from the same; and for any Speech or Debate in either House, they shall not be questioned in any other Place.

Mike Pence is neither a Senator nor a representative.

Next argument.

Timely quote Counsel.

Wow!!! Mrs. S is lucky.

Rehearsal?

Nope! Just a fly.

Lin-seed already lost this fight in Georgia.

Mikey will ultimately be told:

1. Honor the damn subpeona
2. Answer questions that have nothing to do with Speech or Debate
3. Especially the ones where Trump demanded you break the law for him

@discobot

Even Republicans couldn’t countenance the ridiculous levels of alleged corruption coming from Trump appointee J. Brett Blanton.

Whoa! That’s got to be an immense amount of corruption, much more than what I’ve seen reported, given the levels they are willing to countenance.

[bdtex]

Pence must not be a “strict constructionist”.

I was quite disappointed in this morning’s MM not to see any balloon-related reports, so i’ve taken it upon myself to pick up that slack. You’re welcome.
