Breech of the Peace may be construed to be the same as Disorderly Conduct.

Like I said to another poster...IMHO, it may make for an interesting constitutional challenge, but it does not change the facts about what happened, his pleading guilty to it, or his judgement regarding it.

It may clear him technically on a legal basis, but it does not change the fact that it happened and his actions regarding it. That is the essence of why, IMHO, he should resign.

I don’t disagree - I am adding that he also should resign because he does not know the constitution.

I doubt it. Do we really think the Founding Fathers would overlook more serious misdemeanor crimes to exempt arrest for causing a ruckus? I would assume Breach of the Peace refers to acts like inciting an insurrection.

If getting into an argument with an airport police officer is the new standard, look for lots of Republicans to start getting arrested if Hillary wins and gets to appoint the AG.
