The argument for the defense: Hey, it's just a misdemeanor.
  • What is moral?

    Despite the fact that I would love to see Senator Craig out of the Senate, and a more liberal senator replace him, I have to support what he is doing. In a society where heterosexuals having sex in the back seat of a car, or on an airplane is something that makes us smile, there is a double standard at work here. Second, there is no proof that he was soliciting for public sex. He probably was, yes, but he could just as easily have been trying to pick the guy up to take him somewhere private, which is not illegal. Finally, this is clearly entrapment. The fact is that by doing nothing the officer was entraping him since any normal man would have reacted to Craig's actions, peering through the crack in the door, nudging his foot, waving his hand under the wall.
