ACLU Defends Larry Craig's Right to Have Private Bathroom Sex

The ACLU filed a brief yesterday in support of Idaho Senator Larry Craig, arguing that those engaging in sexual conduct in restroom stalls should be able to expect privacy.
The AP reports: "[The ACLU] cited a Minnesota Supreme Court ruling 38 years ago that found that people who have sex in closed stalls in public restrooms 'have a reasonable expectation of privacy.

That means the state cannot prove Craig was inviting an undercover officer to have sex in public, the ACLU wrote...The ACLU argued that even if Craig was inviting the officer to have sex, his actions wouldn't be illegal. 'The government cannot prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Senator Craig was inviting the undercover officer to engage in anything other than sexual intimacy that would not have called attention to itself in a closed stall in the public restroom,' the ACLU wrote in its brief. The ACLU also noted that Craig was originally charged with interference with privacy, which it said was an admission by the state that people in the bathroom stall expect privacy."

Aside from the sheer absurdity of it, I'm not sure exactly how this argument would help Craig, since he has denied engaging in any sexual conduct.

Last week Craig filed a 27-page brief with the Minnesota Court of Appeals in an ongoing attempt to withdraw his guilty plea[/size][/size]

Why??????????????Why???????????can't we get rid of the ACLU!!!!!!!!

Most bathrooms in the public are "public restrooms," generally for the purpose of going to the bathroom. Should a man follow a woman to the restroom for a similar purpose. Should children whose parents take them to the restrooms of the opposite sex be exposed to these actions (in the stall or out.) And the court ruled for this 38 yrs ago.

Ephesians 4:32

Right, so they should be defending the undercover officer because Craig was sticking his hand under the stall and invading his privacy.

The ACLU is just playing dumb and has jumped on this high-profile case just for media attention, otherwise, they are defending the actions of perverts in bathrooms where your children could be.
