From the article:

If Cotton ran he would have little trouble raising money, although it might strike some as presumptuous for a freshman congressman to turn around and immediately run for the Senate — such sentiments probably hurt ex-Rep. Rick Berg (R-ND) in his ill-fated Senate run last year.”

As opposed to a junior Senator turning around and immediately running for President, because that's totally different, or something.  I hope Mr. Cotton does a good job in the House, and it sounds like he will.

Bingo.

"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

- Thomas Jefferson
