Does any of this sound familiar?
“…accused of engineering a kickback scheme with two attorneys, accepting bribes from an attorney who argued a case before him, having a corrupt relationship with bailbondsmen and helping them with their business, lying to the FBI and Senate, and not telling the truth in his own bankruptcy filing.”
Could be any number of unrepresenting representatives currently scutting around the corridors in Washington or Obama appointees, couldn’t it? Instead, it is federal Judge Thomas Porteous of New Orleans who was so accused by a 4-article impeachment vote in the Nuthouse last Thursday. Included in that august voting body is Representative Alcee Hastings (D-FL). Hastings was a federal judge in Florida and was removed from the bench by the Senate in 1989 but later won a seat in Congress and has served there since 1993.
Justice is alive and well in America.
