would have
been detained, placed in jail, or had charges filed against them.

At any rate, caning another Congreesman, literally nearly
to death, on the
floor of Congress is far worse.
Can we get real here. Once again this is not the 19th century. We are 
talking about a congressman of one party trying to have congressmen of 
the other party arrested. This is outragous behavior. It is not some 
little prank

Y'know, the Dems should have let themselves be arrested. Its not as if 
they were going to spend even an hour in a DC holding cell, and the 
adverse publicity for the Republicans would have been beneficial to the 
Democrats.
