WorldNetDaily: U.S. Constitution could clear Craig

Sen. Larry Craig was actually immune from arrest in Minneapolis.
The critical section of the U.S. Constitution states: "The Senators and Representatives shall in all cases, except treason, felony and breach of the peace, be privileged from arrest during their attendance at the session of their respective Houses, and in going to and returning from the same; and for any speech or debate in either House, they shall not be questioned in any other place."

"Craig was arrested just after 12 noon June 11. He cast a vote on a high-profile cloture motion on the Senate floor at 5:55 p.m. that same day."

Hey, I don't much like the guy, but the truth is the truth. He cannot be charged with a misdemeanor while traveling to the Senate for a vote.
