I am still not convinced that he was in fact looking to hook up with a man. Someone would have come forward by now if this was something he had done in the past. Does that change whether he should resign, even though he did plead guilty?

No, I could care less if he was "guilty" or not of trying to hook up. It's not the fact that he may or may not be a homosexual. And I do wonder about the legality of the whole sting operation. Foot tapping is not against the law. What bothers me is that he did plead guilty to something. Whether it's because he knew he was engaging in questioning behavior or because he was eager to shield his wife and public (and thereby himself) from the embarrassment of the situation, he plead guilty. That should count for something. He's now trying to circumvent the justice system by vacating his plea so he can stay in congress. I just think that's wrong. He's acting like the rest of lawmakers-- they think they are above the laws they create, and it's a sickening trend.
