You have to understand he is special he would have been re elected if he was already in the pen!
He still would have been reelected. His (cough) 'main constituents' (1) all have Obamaphones, are gang-bangers, flash mob yutes, crack hos, and all have section eight 'assistance'. The morons knew he's mentally ill and wasn't in congress doing his job since June and was still reelected wit something like 60% of the vote.
Or they didn't know since they're all illiterate, makes no difference. JJ Jr could have been indicted for the mass murder of twenty grandmothers in a nursing home and he'd STILL have been reelected.
(1) There's a portion of his district that covers some white south suburbs but it's mainly in Da Hoods of Chicago.
