OJ MIST 2 THE DICK

Anytime I need to see your face I just close my eyes
And I am taken to a place
Where your crystal minds and magenta feelings
Take up shelter in the base of my spine
Sweet like a chica cherry cola

The statement Perry made Saturday after being indicted could be construed as a threat, according to a district judge.

That's an even weaker interpretation than the indictment.

Without case law, that looks pretty broad to me:

There's precedent for extending the speech and debate clause to people involved in the legislative process, but not necessarily legislators themselves. US v. Gravel.

It probably won't go, as it's about as valid as Dick Cheney being his own branch of government.


And speech and debate clauses are pretty drat broad if only to quash executive influence.
