Hastings was convicted on 21 counts of corruption, perjury, and accepting a $150,000 bribe in a racketeering case that came before him. That resulted in his impeachment by congress in 1989. The vote was 413-3 in the House and 69-26 in the Senate. FYI ... Nancy Pelosi, Steny Hoyer, John Conyers and Charles Rangel were among those that voted for his impeachment. In the Senate Arlen Specter was one of the 26 that voted against impeachment. The Senate had the option to forbid Hastings from ever seeking federal office again, but did not do so. That let him run for Congress in 1993 and get elected on Clinton's coat-tails. If that had been any of us that felony conviction would have ruined our lives, put us in prison, and in most states taken away our right to vote. The people of Florida should hang their heads in shame for electing this criminal in the first place. d1carter #14
