Back in the day, people had to work the land to pay debt to the landlord for eternity.
The interest on the debt was such that the vassals could never get out of debt.

So apparently senators must now be notified in advance if their phone records are requested during the investigation of a crime. No one else, just senators. So they're free to crime and can't be investigated without notice. This is so wrong, but it's great for senators who want to commit crimes.

The way to get rid of these senators without having to wait for their terms to be up is simple: make them quit. Make remaining in office so miserable, so overbearing, that they would rather quit with their money than deal with us any longer. Tactics may vary.

John Thune secures provision in government funding bill letting senators sue for phone records seizure
The new legislative language is an escalation of the GOPβs efforts to discredit former special counsel Jack Smith.
In today's "Rules for Thee, Not for Me," senators have just voted themselves a potential $500,000 payout if the DOJ dares to pull their phone records. What do regular Americans get for similar federal privacy invasions? A costly lesson in who really writes the rules.
