Obviously this is racist claptrap but I do want to point out:
If a member of Congress went to the floor and leaked an upcoming military operation, that would in fact be 100% consistent with the Constitutional text and the Framers' intent. They created a special immunity just for stuff like that.

ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries.
Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves.
"Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks.
"No, guess he should've complied," agent says.

During ratification of the 14th Amendment, senators discussed whether the Citizenship Clause would apply to the children of immigrants and resoundingly concluded that it did. The text and history all point in one direction and the counter-arguments are patently fraudulent. I am going to lose my mind

It really is astonishing how fanciful a lot of the legal writing on the court is about the nuts and bolts of governing.
Our political and legal culture has failed spectacularly when the best defense of the Supreme Court is that it has a “plan” that amounts to risking the whole farm in order to *maybe* move Congress to write statutes slightly more specifically.
