Fun in Arizona somewhere in Tucson, AZ. One Senator believes it is ok to do 70 in a posted 35 mph area. While in office, the senator has immunity. Legislative immunity lasts only while the Legislature is in session. So the soon to be Senator was unable to wiggle out of the ticket. Twice the speed limit? Come on . . . Lawfare!’ cries Sen.

This is not 2016 and Trump got one hell of a shellacking from Harris in the debate. She was smiling . . .
