The court is unlikely to grant it. But if it does, the prosecution is free to reinstate the original charges.

This fellow will switch to the Democrat Party before he acknowledges that he truly is serious piece of human waste.

He needs to confess that he has been a closet liberal all these years and was hoping to get into Hillary's cabinet until this happened.

Hope he uses his usual wide-stance approach whilst asking to withdraw his plea. But he might cite a constitutional argument about congressmen not being subject to arrest going to or coming from congress.
Lew, narrowstance in Ks.

"...Appearing on CNNs Late Edition, Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pa., said Craig is entitled to his day in court.Why not. He did spend 25 years in the HOuse and Senate. During this time his voting record was overwhelmingly conservative. He has a right to have his day in court just as you have a right to your opinions.
To: John W
Minnesota law is that a guilty plea may be withdrawn if it was not intelligently made and what Sen. Craig did was by no means intelligent, said Specter.And when Arlen calls someone "unintelligent", he knows what he's talkin' about!
To: laterldf
Just one more right he waived in open court , along with his right to appeal , when he plead Guilty .

He has a right to have his day in court just as you have a right to your opinions. He knowingly chose to waive that right when he pled guilty. In the absence of any evidence of fraud on the part of the prosecutor, he should not be allowed to rescind that plea.

He didn’t call someone unintelligent, he called the action unintelligent.

He has a right to have his day in court just as you have a right to your opinions.He lost his opportunity for his case to be adjudicated when he plead guilty.
Finally, gay men in Idaho have the kind of senator they can stand behind...

He was intimidated knowing that people like those posting on this thread would never excuse him being charged with a public, homosexual offense. So he copped a plea hoping no one would connect Larry Craig with Senator Larry Craig.
A big mistake both legally and morally; however, the court can deny his request in which case the appeals could take years.
In the meantime, I fail to understand why many on this thread are so angry with him. In the meantime, sooner or later, Republicans will have to decide whether they should have an exclusionary rule for homosexuals—for party membership and holding office?
