Craig's resigning
My favorite part of the article is this last part: QUOTE Craig also was an opponent of expanding the rights of gay Americans, a stance that drew charges of hypocrisy from gay rights advocates after his arrest became public. He has supported a constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage and opposed extending a federal hate-crime law to cover violent acts based on a victim's sexual orientation.

well i heard some more info on this this morning... apparently it was airport cops that arranged the sting, not the FBI or real cops. they had no charge to arrest him on, so they scared him into signing a document admitting guilt of "disorderly conduct". the bottom line is they had zero charge to arrest him on. touching someone's foot is not an arrestable offense. if it is, we have a lot more to worry about than a gay senator. look at the 20/20 BS, they take the guys into custody but they're never charged with anything. i'm surprised the cops don't get the pants sued off of them.
