"Democratic Florida Rep. Alcee Hastings is the vice chairman of the House Committee on Rules, the folks who set the guidelines for Wednesday’s impeachment v**e. Unsurprisingly, they did so along a 9-4 party-line v**e, refusing to allow any amendments on the floor and limiting debate time to six hours.
As for impeachment, Hastings knows a thing or two about the process. In 1989, as a Florida federal district court judge, he was impeached and removed from office for bribery, perjury and falsifying evidence."

IIRC, the Mayor of Washington DC, Marion Barry, was the mayor. Got busted for using crack cocaine, served time (6 months?). After that, he was again elected mayor. This was in the late 80's, I believe.
Keep in mind the citizens of DC are 90% democrats.....

I remember that. Mind boggling is all I can say.
But even more mind boggling is the impeached federal judge who is then elected to be the district's representative in Congress.
