Fun fact: Like our POTUS, Our members of our VA General Assembly have legal immunity during a session & may not be arrested for anything short of “treason, felony, or breach of peace.” Want to clear this was NOT a factor in this case. And the delegate in this story did not even
mention he WAS a delegate, which reflects well on him and may have helped him not get arrested (for not being a pompous ass). So that part isn't really news ASIDE from the fact that apparently, all over our supposed nation of laws are STUPID little immunities against prosecution
which in my opinion, strike at the HEART of any nation's efforts to curtail corruption. These "immunities" protections, ESP the one that is currently protecting the president, are such horrible ideas. This one, at least, isn't made up- somehow legislators enshrined it in the VA
Constitution. Sure looking forward to when an intrepid Richmond reporter like @BPaves explains how to me.
