D.C. Voting Rights Act is Clearly Unconstitutional « Republican Ranting

Last Thursday, the Senate passed the District of Columbia House Voting Rights Act of 2009, which gives the District of Columbia a voting member in the House of Representatives and eliminates the position of D.C. Delegate, who represents the District now.

The bill would also give an additional seat to Utah, so that the partisan makeup of the House stayed the same.

Cop Arresting Cameraman for Filming Peaceful Protest: “I Can Do Whatever I Want” « Republican Ranting

Whoa! The most disturbing part of that was the police officer’s comment, “I can do whatever I want” in response to the reporter, Christine Sloan, saying, “You can’t arrest him.” (I don’t have the officer’s name - if somebody could find it, that’d be awesome!)

Illinois City Bans Trick-or-Treating for Teenagers « Republican Ranting

Well, this is about the most ridiculous thing I’ve heard in a while. Belleville, Illinois passed an ordinance last Monday that restricted trick-or-treating. That sounds normal, right, most cities limit the time that kids can trick-or-treat. But the city isn’t just limiting when; they’re also limiting who can trick-or-treat. And it also limits the wearing of masks, to only Halloween (unless you’re under 12).

Bipartisan Lawyers Agree: McCain is a Natural Born Citizen « Republican Ranting

The debate began when a complaint was filed on March 6th to the U.S. District Court in Riverside, CA, by Riverside lawyer Andrew Aames, a registered Republican who was formerly a Democrat. He claimed that a judge needed to step in and decide whether or not John McCain is a “natural born” citizen, because if he is not, he cannot serve as President under the Constitution. The problem is that the Constitution never defined a natural born citizen.
