Book Description
"By a vote of 413 to 3, the House of Representatives, in its impeachment proceeding, charged United States District Judge Alcee L. Hastings with 17 acts of misconduct that strike at the heart of our democracy. Selling his office for personal gain, fabricating documents to establish his innocence, lying repeatedly under oath at his criminal trial, ignoring the dictates of his own court order to tip off an acquaintance about wiretap information -- these are the separate actions over a period of more than five years which compel the conclusion that Judge Hastings should be removed from office"--Introduction, page 1
