It's not that they want those privileges (because it's priviledges they're flaunting not rights), it just blatantly proves that they have privileges that we don't have. If you or I had walked around a metal detector in a federal building like that we'd have been tackled and cuffed no matter what reason we had. If you or I tried to enter a federal building with a handgun like Boebert does we would be arrested for "breaking the law" regardless of what the constitution says.
Politicians are above the law and they know it. All they're doing is rubbing our noses in it.
I completely and totally agree, because they truly live by a different set of rules than we do, but another comment noted that this is a privilege afforded to Congress by the Constitution: Article 3, Section 6, Paragraph 1. I'm fine with this specific provision, as it only applies to their security while they do their jobs or are in transit to go do their jobs, and they would still be subject to metal detection and stop and frisk at other buildings just like the rest of us.
He "passed" the cops? So they're just immune to the police I guess?
Exactly. They want rights we don't have, and some of the "we" who don't have those rights are cheering.
