Rep. Andrew Clyde (R-GA), who was hit with a $5,000 fine for allegedly bypassing metal detectors on his way to the House floor, plans to fight back, saying the metal detectors are unconstitutional.
“This is a constitutional issue,” Clyde said on Laura Ingraham’s Fox News show. “Those metal detectors are there to detain us or to – and that’s a violation of Article I, Section 6 of the Constitution. We’re going to the House floor to vote. We represent 700,000 people in our districts. And the Constitution says that we cannot be impeded when we go to the Florida vote,” he said.
