I don't know which part of this story is more disturbing.

But I think for me it's the fact that the esteemed Senator "Wide Stance" Craig didn't know that the Constitution makes him immune from arrest for this kind of stuff while he's coming from or going to the Senate while it's in session.

For a sitting 'conservative' Senator not to know that simple, basic fact is disturbing.

Now I'm not countenancing what this creep did, but he would have been well within his rights to pull out a copy of the US Constitution and tell that officer "Sorry son. You can't arrest me."

So not only is he a creep, he's a dumb creep.

Well, in this case, the two provisions where a Congresscritter can be detained and aressted is for a felony, or for a Breach of Peace. That's right in the constitution.

Craig pled guilty to "Disorderly Conduct". In the Minnesota statute, disorderly conduct is defined, among other things, as being guilty of "breach of the peace". See my post number 95 in this thread for the fuill wording.

He pled guilty to that. Her signed the plea which is the same as an admission of guilt under oath. I do not believe he will even be able to hide behind the constitution on this one...nor should he IMHO.

I stopped supporting Craig over his stance on immigration. Now I just want to see him gone so our Governor can appoint a conservative in Craig's stead, who will not only vote conservative where Craig did, but will also stand against the illegal invasion. Either Simpson or Risch will do that IMHO.

BTW, as always, great to see you my friend.
