    What do you mean by try? There's not much Secret Service protection assigned to congressional members, one or two guards at a time - max. After all, they're either 1 of 100 or 1 of 435 (sorry, you other non-voting three). They're relatively easily replaced, only hold so much power, and aren't nearly as symbolically important compared to the president. If somebody wanted her dead and had the means, it would happen. It's just a matter of whether or not they want their assassin to live and go free or not.

    Sorry if that comes off as conspiratorial and melodramatic, but it's the truth.

      As Nero Wolfe would say to a potential client, "sir, I will not accept the charge to protect you from death -- any halfwit can find a hundred ways to murder a man in a city of 8 million -- but I will take on the duty of finding your assassin, if that is sufficient consolation."

                Emotionally-charged timing is very important to the illuminati, because it increases the chance their goals are reached.

                        Nope. All that crap is paid advertising to renew the ranks of the poor suckers getting killed for corporate profits, er, brave lads defending (sniff) our freedom.

                          Ha, you think the NFL does anything it does get paid for.

                          How else does the US military get to call themselves the official military of the NFL?!

                            The thank you comes in the fact that the ad time would've gone for $7 million to any other organization. The NFL is $1 million thankful to the US armed forces.
