Eye On Boise: “No Other Arguments To Make”
A University of Minnesota law professor who’s been following Sen. Larry Craig’s case in his state says he’s not surprised that Craig’s lawyers are putting forth the exact same arguments on appeal that were such a loser for him in district court. “They don’t have any other arguments to make,” said Stephen Simon. “They’re just saying that based on the relevant law, the judge decided wrongly. Now, it’s an uphill battle, because appellate courts tend to defer to trial courts, especially in discretionary areas such as this”/Betsy Russell, Eye On Boise.
