From Raw Story:
Comparing Sen. Larry Craig's arrested in a public restroom sex sting to a "traffic offense," the Idaho Republican's lawyer says his client should stay in the Senate and fight ethics charges against him.
"It seems to me that we ought to seek to have the committee dismiss this outright, given the fact that this arises not from his official duties but from his private conduct," Craig's attorney, Stan Brand, said on the Today Show Wednesday, noting that the Senate previously sought to expel only members involved in treason, bribery or other high crimes and misdemeanors.

Yeah. Instead, Craig should resign for lying about his guilty plea, trying to change his mind about both the guilty plea and his resignation, and being a hypocrit on the gay marriage issue.
Resign now!
Craig is adding more travesty to the justice system. To now compare traffic offense to soliciting sex to an undercover cop is like comparing a flirty wink to wind dust in your eyes when you live in a cave!! If this a political strategy by Craig to not resign, he is really hurting his own state and himself with this. And where in the hell was nursing home Spector when the rest of the GOP turned their backs on Craig? Was Spector asleep in his rocking chair? Like I said: a political agenda. This whole scandal is certainly a wet dream for the Democrats. The GOP party has crashed and burn from the tap tap tap Senator scandal. And yes, Craig lied to the cop and his guilty not guilty guilty plea. A serious scrubbing of lawmakers in Idaho and the GOP party.
Just like McCain, you have to know when it's over, why prolong the inevitatble.
I have a friend in Idaho and yes all the people like Senator Craig and the rumors about his sex life is old news. Now I was shocked at first but now with more information and what the people of his State feel who am I to object. As for what he's said and done Judge and you will be Judged. Legally if he can convince a Judge to overturn his guilty plea it becomes a question of guilt. As for his hearing in the ethics committee well they have alot more cases with other Republicans then just Senator Craig.
Life is funny as Senator Craig has seen who his friends are and what he's done wrong for so long. Now if things go his way and he keeps his seat he can make a difference.
