Alcee Hastings was convicted and removed from office, but not disqualified.

Thomas Porteous, a federal judge from Louisiana, was convicted in 2010 on 4 counts, removed from office, and disqualified from Federal office by a Senate vote of 94-2.

Look it up.

Court rulings trump judgements of congress.

Alcee Hastings was found not guilty of the crime he was impeached and removed for by a court of law.

The impeachment stood but disqualification could not be imposed.
