Oral Arguments Set In Sen. Craig Appeal

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) ― Idaho Senator Larry Craig will get his next day in Minnesota's courts on September 10.
  
That's the date for oral arguments on his attempt to withdraw his guilty plea in an airport sex sting.
  
Craig was arrested last summer in a bathroom stall by an undercover officer who said Craig solicited sex. Craig pleaded guilty, but later said that was a mistake.
  
A Hennepin County judge refused to allow Craig to withdraw his plea. Now a three-judge panel of the Minnesota Court of Appeals will consider the Republican's case.

In 2008, the Human Rights Campaign gave Craig a zero rating, meaning he consistently voted in a manner that did not support the HRC's position of civil equality for the GLBT community.
