Reporter asks Democrat senator a question; senator accuses reporter of "violating the Constitution"

Sen. Cory Booker accused a reporter of violating the U.S. Constitution after he asked the New Jersey Democrat a question in the halls of Congress on Thursday.

When Wall Street Journal reporter Byron Tau asked Booker whether his actions during the morning session were a stunt, the senator accused him of violating the U.S. Constitution.

I asked @CoryBooker if his remarks in committee were a stunt. He told me I violating the constitution by being in his way.

It is not entirely clear what Booker was referring to.  A clause in the Constitution--called the "Speech and Debate clause"--does say members of congress can't be arrested on their way to congress, and "in going to and from [session] … shall not be questioned in any other Place." The prohibition against "questioning" lawmakers on their way to session, however, has always been interpreted to apply to law officers, not reporters.

Obviously, if the clause applied to reporters, no one could ever ask any member of congress [spit] a question, ever.  Booker is a moron.  But far worse, he's a totalitarian:  "You will do as I say because I'm important and you are just an ordinary person."

Booker has been touted as a faaabulous Democratic presidential nominee.  Cuz the Dem leaders think he's just wonderful. 

This is the face of the Democratic party.  Study it well.  This is who they are.

Democrat "senator" Corey Booker--demagogue who knows nothing about the Constitution
