You probably remember how a guy named Ryan Sorba went off script at CPAC and denounced the organizers for allowing a gay Republican group, GOPride, into the conference, arguing that homosexuality violates natural law. To the credit of the attendees, Sorba’s rant was greeted mainly by boos. But despite being a big advocate of natural law, Sorba doesn’t seem to be too big a fan of just plain old regular law. He’s got a history of run-ins with the law including a restraining order for domestic violence and another guilty plea for creating a disturbance at a polling station over Prop 8 back in 2008. According to Sorba, he was turned in in the latter case by “some homosexual guy.”
