A friend "is wondering whether Larry Craig has lost political support because he was arrested, or because he may be gay? Or is it all the same in American politics?"

I wrote on her Wall: Larry Craig deserves to lose political support not for a crime but for being an idiot. What kind of U.S. Senator doesn't know better than to plead guilty without advice of counsel? You wouldn't catch the Kennedys doing that. Is he the one person in America who has avoided Law & Order reruns?

Unfortunately, the links at Volokh don't seem to play well on Facebook, as the link preview showed a later post from Dale Carpenter on the same topic.
