RE: Its about time.
This argument that Jefferson's office should not have been searched and his computer, papers, etc. not seized because it is a violation of the separation of powers of co-equal branches of government is hypocritical and spurious at best. Section 6 (quoted below) states a congressman/woman shall not be arrested at congress or to and from congress. It says NOTHING about giving congress immunity from a valid and lawful search warrant signed by a judge. Frist has it right when he said nobody in government should be above the law.

Section 6: The Senators and Representatives shall receive a compensation for their services, to be ascertained by law, and paid out of the treasury of the United States. They shall in all cases, except treason, felony and breach of the peace, be privileged from arrest during their attendance at the session of their respective Houses, and in going to and returning from the same; and for any speech or debate in either House, they shall not be questioned in any other place.
