The Senate Ethics Committee isn't the only proceeding affecting Senator Larry Craig after all. Today, Craig appealed the decision of the Minnesota judge who upheld his guilty plea:

In court papers filed Monday, Craig asked an appeals court in Hennepin County, Minn., to reverse a judge’s decision earlier this month to let stand Craig’s August guilty plea. It was made following his arrest for allegedly soliciting sex from an undercover police officer at a Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport restroom.

The court filing, coupled with Craig’s launch of a public relations offensive to clear his name, are the latest signs that Republicans will have a tough time moving away from the scandal.
