|---|---|---|
| "Even the limited ability to question Pence is a big victory for the prosecutors, as it allows them to get what they can and fight about the rest another day." | Positive | 8% Conservative |
| "While ruling that Pence must comply with the subpoena and answer questions posed by special counsel Jack Smith's team before the grand jury, the judge allowed that Pence could decline to answer questions that could relate to his actions on Jan. 6 when he was acting as president of the Senate to certify the 2020 presidential election." | Positive | 0% Conservative |

| "Such a ruling denies prosecutors a sweeping green light to question Pence about all aspects of Jan. 6 and forces them to proceed on a question-by-question basis." | Negative | -2% Liberal |

| "Given that the real purpose of the speech or debate clause is to provide immunity from being liable for legislative acts, it makes sense that Pence caot be questioned about his specific act of counting the electoral votes as part of the certification process." | Negative | -6% Liberal |
| "In this case, an appeal could cause the door to Pence's testimony to be opened wider -- or slam it shut." | Negative | -6% Liberal |

| "It will be tempting for both the Department of Justice and Pence to seek a broader win by appealing the issue potentially all the way to the Supreme Court." | Negative | -12% Liberal |
| "Pence's legal team argued that the speech or debate clause of the U.S. Constitution would similarly excuse him from complying." | Negative | -14% Liberal |
| "Even conservative former federal judge Michael Luttig -- who had been a Pence supporter and advised him on how to handle the Jan 6 electoral vote certification -- criticized Pence's attempt to hide behind the clause as being an attempt to politicize the subpoena." | Negative | -14% Liberal |

| "Despite a long string of losses with this argument and despite the fact that the Supreme Court stated in the Watergate-era case of United States v. Nixon that executive privilege must yield in the face of pending criminal cases, Trump and his allies have continued to raise it as an absolute shield against testimony." | Negative | -16% Liberal |
| "The latest reminder of that distinction came with the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals' unanimous rejection of Sen. Lindsey Graham's efforts to avoid the Fulton County special grand jury subpoena by relying upon the speech or debate clause." | Negative | -20% Liberal |
| "By comparison, however, Trump's reckless supercharged concept of privilegemay have done far more damage to the doctrine than did Nixon." | Negative | -22% Liberal |
| "In a pair of rulings still under seal, Boasberg, who took over the reins of the D.C. federal district courts barely two weeks ago, struck down Trump's argument and also mostly rejected Pence's argument." | Negative | -26% Liberal |
| "Trump is unlikely to have success with further appeal of the issue other than adding to his string of losses on it." | Negative | -26% Liberal |
| "Similarly, the DOJ and the special counsel may prefer to have no limits on what they can ask Pence and might hope that an appellate win might skewer Pence's weak legal argument and allow them carte blanche in questioning him." | Negative | -28% Liberal |
