Georgia Senator Colton Moore arrested at capitol for defying ban, trying to attend Governor's speech.

Georgia State Senator Colton Moore was arrested at the state capitol while trying to enter the House chamber, defying a ban imposed by House Speaker Jon Burns. The ban was put in place after Moore made disparaging remarks about the late House Speaker David Ralston. Moore attempted to attend Governor Brian Kemp's State of the State address, leading to a confrontation with state troopers. Moore claims the ban is unconstitutional and has not apologized, as requested by Burns.
