Us Con Law geeks are pretty excited about the prospect of litigation under Article I, Section 6's clause providing that "The Senators and Representatives 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 . . . ." Woo hoo!
