If you’re talking about Eastland and Hutchinson, they involve the scope of immunity for purportedly legislative acts occurring outside of the legislative chamber
Hutchinson states, at multiple points in the decision, that statements made on the floor are absolutely immune from liability
Had she not gone into so much personal detail, and also issued the speech and other materials outside of the House, I would tend to agree with you more. But in any case, it’s not likely she’ll be sued given the persons she accused likely don’t want to keep this in the press.
Which, I guess, is probably as it should be; trying to draw a fine line around what legislators can say in the legislative chamber would be tricky as hell. In principle it's a political matter, so if a legislator says crazy bullshit on the floor, can't sue 'em, but you can vote 'em out. (in theory)
