Craig's Bathroom Tapdance Protected by the First Amendment

If you look hard enough you can find all kinds of stuff in the First Amendment:

ST. PAUL, Minn. - Idaho Sen. Larry Craig will argue before an appeals court that Minnesota's disorderly conduct law is unconstitutional as it applies to his conviction in a bathroom sex sting, according to a new court filing.

This is the first time Craig's attorneys have raised that issue. However, an earlier friend-of-the-court filing by the American Civil Liberties Union argued that Craig's foot-tapping and hand gesture under a stall divider at the Minneapolis airport are protected by the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which guarantees freedom of speech.

Can you imagine sitting down with Thomas Jefferson and the other founders and telling them that someday a U.S. Senator will use the hard work and intellect they put into the Constitution to defend soliciting gay sex in an airport restroom?

For probably the 800th time I'll just remind everybody that the First Amendment guarantee of freedom of speech was designed to protect political speech and not just any deviant behavior that somebody can dream up. Unless and until we can get back to the definition for freedom of speech we're going to waste a lot of time on nonsense lawsuits like this one.
