The Senator Who Just Wouldn't Resign

Yes, that would apply to Vitter, as well. But this time I'm talking about Larry Craig, who has a fast-approaching deadline of September 30th. CNN has the scoop:

Sen. Larry Craig won't resign from the Senate while awaiting a judge's ruling on his effort to get a guilty plea withdrawn in a restroom sex sting, a source said Wednesday. [...] Craig had said he would resign from the Senate if he could not get the guilty plea overturned by September 30. But on Tuesday, Craig said he wouldn't resign until "legal determinations" are made.

So when will those legal determinations be made? According to the AP, the judge has said that he "probably wouldn't rule in the case until late next week."

But it isn't looking good for the Senator. Here's what his own attorney had to say: getting the plea withdrawn is "near impossible, and it should be."

Is that what he told the judge?
