One sponsor of the bill, Alcee Hastings, has an especially interesting
history, in 1977 he was made the first Black Federal Judge from Florida, but
in 1988 he was caught conspiring to obtain a $150,000 bribe to grant
leniency to two convicted racketeers. He was impeached in the House (413-3)
and convicted in the Senate becoming only the seventh Federal Judge to have
received that distinction in the history of the country. After that Alcee
Hastings embarked on a new career, politics.
