According to the U.S. Constitution members of Congress cannot be sued for libel for anything they say on the floor (or committee rooms) of the houses of Congress.

Does this immunity contribute to the poisonous partisan atmosphere of American politics? Is there anything we can do reduce the partisan nature of politics?
