The Supreme Court on Tuesday rejected dainty Senator Lindsey Graham’s attempt to bitch out of testifying to the Fulton County, Georgia grand jury investigating the failed effort by Trump and his minions to overturn the results of the 2020 election in the state. Graham at least twice had called Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger in the days following the election to ask him to toss out enough votes to flip the state to Trump, something that sounds very crime-y.
“The application for stay and an injunction pending appeal presented to Justice Thomas and by him referred to the Court is denied. The order heretofore entered by Justice Thomas is vacated. The lower courts assumed that the informal investigative fact-finding that Senator Graham assertedly engaged in constitutes legislative activity protected by the Speech or Debate Clause, U. S. Const. Art. I, 56, cl. 1, and they held that Senator Graham may not be questioned about such activities. The lower courts also made clear that Senator Graham may return to the District Court should disputes arise regarding the application of the Speech or Debate Clause innunity to specific questions. Accordingly, a stay or injunction is not necessary to safeguard the Senator’s Speech or Debate Clause immunity,” the court wrote in its ruling, ending Graham’s fight for good.
