Strange Bedfellows, Schadenfreude Edition

It should come as no surprise that the ACLU is supporting Senator Craig's attempt to withdraw his guilty plea.

Additionally, there is a good point made by the ACLU:
Anthony Romero, the ACLU’s executive director, argued that police sting operations sometimes trap innocent people. He said police must show that sex was to occur in public, not just that someone was soliciting sex.

“If the police really want to stop people from having sex in public bathrooms, they should put up a sign banning sex in the restroom and send in a uniformed officer to patrol periodically,” Romero said.
Let's be clear if crude come ons were a crime, the cops would be arresting 20% of the people in your average singles hangout bar.
