Sen. Craig to file appeal
Edited on Mon Oct-15-07 06:59 AM by EV_Ares
(((This is hilarious really. The man knows the law, he knows he was not entrapped or forced to plead guilty, it is not like he was some unsophisticated, ignorant individual who did not know the law or his rights. He knew absolutely what he was doing when he admitted guilt. There is absolutely no legal reason for the judge to let him take back his plea. I think he is punishing his republican buddies who treated him like a leper all of a sudden, they threw him under the bus.))) Can't feel sorry for him about that either.

BOISE, Idaho - Sen. Larry Craig says he will file an appeal Monday over a judge's refusal to allow him to withdraw his guilty plea stemming from his arrest in an airport bathroom sex sting.

In an interview Sunday with KTVB-TV, Craig repeated he will not resign his post in the Senate and said he will continue to work his legal options.

"It is my right to do what I'm doing," said Craig, an Idaho Republican. "I've already provided for Idaho certainty that Idaho needed — I'm not running for re-election. I'm no longer in the way. I am pursuing my constitutional rights."

2. He keeps trying to dig out of the hole.
Why did you sign a paper saying you were guilty, if you "weren't"? Not so smart, are you, Larry?
