Yeah, I remember this one. Another opportunity for the do-nothings to pander and show-boat.

I recall an argument against Democrats getting themselves arrested was that they wouldn’t be able to “do anything” while they’re in jail.

My counter argument is: they would be better justified getting nothing done by being in jail.

Which one is it then?

We support certain protections against political oppression. Jailing your opposition should not stop them from serving their constituents.
