"Sen. Craig has not always been a great friend of civil liberties, but you shouldn't have to endorse the civil liberties of others to keep your own," said ACLU Executive Director Anthony Romero, alluding to Craig's history of voting against gay rights.
The ACLU, yet again proving it can be the bigger person, is supporting Craig by making a claim that his "bathroom bust" was unconstitutional.
I think their opinion is quite reasonable, and that a bit of light-hearted schadenfreude over the senator's shameful hypocrisy is probably preferable to inviting precedent for cops to spend their time hanging around airport bathroom stalls watching for foot signals.
It would be more satisfying, though, if the senator would just take this opportunity to cop to said hypocrisy, instead of holding onto his thoroughly transparent cover story and the self-hating bigotry that's already translated into discriminatory legislative positions.
