WASHINGTON – The House on Friday impeached a federal judge imprisoned for lying about sexual assaults of two women, in the first such vote since impeaching former President Bill Clinton a decade ago.

The impeachment of U.S. District Judge Samuel Kent of Texas sets up a trial in the Senate. Kent is the first federal judge impeached in 20 years.

The House approved four articles of impeachment against Kent accusing him of sexually assaulting two female employees and lying to judicial investigators and Justice Department officials. All four articles passed unanimously.

I wonder how Alcee Hastings, D-FL., voted.

[rvoitier]

Depends on his:
1. Race
2. Ideology

So this was just about sex?

I thought the Democrats taught us that was not an impeachable offense?

[LottieDah]

Apparently since Pappy Bush appointed this perv to the bench, it was an impeachable offense.

Pappy Bush appointed Sontaymoyer and Souter as well.

I think every judge who used to be a lawyer should be impeached, just sayin’.

Sleazy b*****d, isn’t he?

I am beginning to think that the Bush family is just as dangerous to our Republic as is the Clinton, Kennedy, and Roosevelt families.

Probably run for congress like impeached and removed ex federal judge Hastings.

Lawyer’s are the bane of humanity, especially lawyers in Government.
