Hell, we have an impeached former federal judge who ousted for bribery and malfeasance serving in congress when he should be serving in jail.

He was acquitted at trial and his impeachment trial was not heard before the full Senate, this is why Hastings serves in the House today.

Wrong. He was acquitted in his criminal trial on a technicality: at the last minute, his co-conspirator decided that he wouldn't testify for the prosecution and accepted jail time instead. The House of Representatives voted 413-3 to impeach the b*stard and the senate voted 69-26 to remove him from office. Both bodies had Democrat majorities and only two-thirds of the senate is required to remove him from office.

To this day, he still tries to play the victim card due to his color, so there is a lot of misinformation around. The House could have refused to seat him when he was elected just five years later, but he was swept in on the Clinton coat tails and the jackass party had a super majority similar to now.
