Court process ‘in many respects irrelevant’
Boise State University political scientist emeritus Jim Weatherby, who has observed Idaho Sen. Larry Craig since both were students at the University of Idaho in the 1960s, said this week that that the court hearing taking place in Minnesota today may not be what really matters. “In many respects this judicial procedure in Minnesota is irrelevant,” Weatherby said. “I don’t know that it has any major impact upon his political career. I think the damage has been done.”
