Senator Larry Craig: Constitutional Defence Planned?

From World Net Daily:

FLUSH TO JUDGMENT

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.

This may be what a high-powered legal dream team hired by Craig is telling him now. Late yesterday, Craig's staff hinted he may not honor his commitment to resign from the Senate effective Sept. 30.

...Billy Martin, one of battery of high-priced lawyers for Craig, said the senator's arrest in an undercover police operation at a Minneapolis airport men's room "raises very serious constitutional questions."
