Borders, who refused to testify against him in the bribery case, went to prison and won a pardon from President Clinton in 2001.

IIRC, Hastings would have been barred from holding any federal office if the Senate had declared it when they removed him from the federal bench. Someone on the impeachment committee didn't think it was necessary. Hastings has been smiling since.

From Wikipedia:
"In 1989, Hastings was impeached by the U.S. House of Representatives for bribery and perjury. The Democratic-controlled Senate convicted Judge Hastings of accepting a $150,000 bribe in 1981 in exchange for a lenient sentence and of perjury in his testimony about the case."
Taking dirty money? Perjured testimony? No wonder Clinton pardoned him!

GOOD! It's about time this country stood up for our rights to have a congress and government made up of people who have better ethics than Hastings has! Hope this story doesn't die anytime soon- althouhg I doubt the MSM will be giving it quite the attention that the extremely nation rivitting 'Maccacca debacle' got- yawn.

I wonder. If he gets appointed, will it be bad news because a flagrant crook has access to classified information, or is it good news because every time he appears in the news, he makes Democrats look bad?

The ONLY hope the Democrats have of pretending any semblance of professionalism, integrity and honesty - is to deny all their morons the chairmanships their seniority entitles them to assume....
The fact these idiots achieved seniority because they come from safe racist districts - doesn't mean the nation should be put at risk by their OBVIOUS incompetence and ignorance.

Well, I think I can safely say this is one corruption case we won't read about in the NYT.

How can you have a guilty co-conspirator, yet be acquitted?

The Democratic Party. The party where being a felon is a prime qualification for getting elected. Republican corrupt pols get dismissed an arrested. Similar Dem pols just get elected...and appointed to key positions.
