To ensure that the vote goes forward, Rep. Loretta Sanchez ( news, bio, voting record), D-Calif., late Tuesday made a motion on the House floor for the Traficant vote to occur within 48 hours.

Sanchez was one of the first House members to call for Traficant's expulsion after his conviction. "I think he tarnishes all of us," Sanchez said in April.

Loretta has had it out for Jim since day one as he was one of the Congressman who voted against seating her in the House seat she stole from B-1 Bob Dornan.
