Alcee Lamar Hastings is the U.S. Representative
Post# of 512
Alcee Lamar Hastings is the U.S. Representative (D) for Florida's 20th congressional district, serving in Congress since 1993
A lawyer and former federal judge, Hastings is still paying off legal fees of more than $2 million that he incurred in a trial on charges of bribery while he was serving on a U.S. district court. The Florida Democrat was acquitted of the charges in 1983, but a federal panel later concluded he had lied and fabricated evidence. By 1989, he was removed from the court after votes by the House and Senate.
Being an impeached, disgraced judge can be pretty costly. Incredibly, the people of Hastings’ district have seen fit to reward his corruption with a ticket to Congress every two years since 1993 .
