It’s Called The Constitution

The Orange County Chapter of Brady United has their panties in a wad because Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-NC11) had a firearm in his carry-on when going through TSA security and wasn’t arrested. He asked them to hold the firearm for him until he returned and they did. If you read the whole story, you will see this happened to others and they were not arrested either.

Why was he not held accountable? https://t.co/npKRim2wJ9

One reason that Rep. Cawthorn was not arrested is called the US Constitution. Specifically, Article I, Sec. 6.

It states, part:

The Senators and Representatives shall receive a Compensation for their Services, to be ascertained by Law, and paid out of the Treasury of the United States. They shall in all Cases, except Treason, Felony and Breach of the Peace, be privileged from Arrest during their Attendance at the Session of their respective Houses, and in going to and returning from the same; and for any Speech or Debate in either House, they shall not be questioned in any other Place.

I guess it is no surprise that a chapter of Brady United is ignorant about Article I of the Constitution given their intentional ignorance of the meaning of the Second Amendment to the Constitution.

In full disclosure, Madison Cawthorn is my representative and I have given him a campaign contribution. It wasn’t much but I did get a personal call from him thanking me for it.

Off Topic But You Can’t Make This Up

We have all heard stories that you think had to be made up. Sometimes they were. Sometimes they were actually true. This is one of them.

A man who was released from Westen State Hospital, stole a school bus, drove across WA state, ditched it, hitchhiked, ended up stealing a front-end loader, which he used to flip a car into a structure near his home before crashing into his house, all while wearing a sundress. pic.twitter.com/mvkCcky5E3

A new law in Washington State only allows police to chase criminals if they suspect a violent crime has been committed. In this case, a recently released psych patient stealing a school bus didn’t count. Two different sheriffs’ departments briefly engaged in chase but called it off due to the new law.

The house Andrew Loudon tried to destroy belong to his estranged wife. According to another story, she fled the house after hearing he was in town.

I’m just going to make a guess here on his future residence but I think it might have “state hospital” in its name.
