ACLU SAYS FIRST AMENDMENT PROTECTS CRAIG'S BATHROOM BEHAVIOR

I know I promised no more Larry Craig stories. But when the ACLU gets involved in a case involving a Conservative Republican Senator, I have to read it. The ACLU filed what the call a friend-of-the-court brief in Craig's case. The argument by the ACLU is that even if Craig did the things the police say, they're not a crime. They also say that even if Craig solicited sex, it would only be a crime if police could prove he was seeking illegal bathroom sex and not a legal liaison somewhere else. The ACLU also says the disorderly conduct statute is too vague to be enforceable.
