1988 Alcee Hastings impeachment: All top Dems voted for it

Byron York in today's National Review Online has a well-researched article about how all the top Democrats in power or soon to be in power: Pelosi, Hoyer, Rangel, Dingell, Waxman, Dingell, and a whole bunch of others voted to impeach then-Judge Alcee Hastings for accepting a bribe.

The senate later voted to remove Hastings from the bench.

Hastings later managed to get himself elected to House of Representatives from Florida, and may be chosen to head the House Intelligence Committee by incoming House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

If he gets the position, a lot of Dems will have a lot of explaining to do. They didn't want him them, but they want him now.
