Google Alcee Hastings of Florida-- impeached as a federal judge for bribery and malfeasance in 1988, elected to the house in 1992, where he has been ensconced ever since.

And he ain't the first one. There's Adam Clayton Powell of New York, convicted and reelected. He has schools and streets named after him in Harlem.

Remember, there are two sets of laws-- one for the ruling class and one for the sheeple.
