Warning for using a phrase that the OP used without receiving a warning?

TonySinclair definitely brought some non-GQ wording into the thread, but the question asked was about the law itself, which is a GQ topic.

From your note in thread:

A little too coincidental for me to believe that.

In any event, the OP asks about the law, not about the specific situation that inspired the question. Since this is in GQ, please restrict responses to factual answers regarding the law, as has been done so far. What might be done in reality as a matter of politics and interpersonal interactions is a topic for another forum.

Although you do note that you don’t believe him, the crack about “Suppose further that the Senate leader is a man who is utterly without principles or honor.” perhaps could have deserved as specific mention.
