If this scenario over at AMERICAblog does unfold with the Senator Larry Craig (R) ordeal, it will be hilarious. The problem for Senator Mitch McConnell (R) is that the longer this thing is drawn out and the more aggressive Senate Republicans become with Craig, the more questions will surround why the ills and corruptions of Senators David Vitter (R) and Ted Stevens (R) and the like aren’t being pursued similarly.

Is this going to be Craig’s defense?

From WND’s Joseph Farah. Please let Craig try this one. Mitch McConnell will keel over.

Sen. Larry Craig, R-Idaho, didn’t have to plead guilty to sex charges stemming from a men’s room encounter with an undercover cop in Minnesota.

All he had to do was hand the police officer a copy of the U.S. Constitution – the document the senator swore to uphold upon first taking office in Congress 27 years earlier.

There is little ambiguity in Article 1: Section 6, which clearly states no member of Congress can be arrested while traveling to or from official session.

Craig was arrested just after 12 noon June 11. He cast a vote on a high-profile cloture motion on the Senate floor at 5:55 p.m. that same day.
