Pelosis' Fatal Move?

Heir apparent to the Congressional Speakers position, Ms. Nancy Pelosi is about to do something which all Conservatives should remember and use against her party in the next election.
Speaker elect Pelosi is about to jump over the congresswoman who should be the committee chairperson of the Intelligence Committee, Ms.Jane Harman of California, and select Representative Alcee Hastings of Florida. Mr. Hastings has the full support of the Black Congressional Caucus, but carries more baggage than any member of Congress should be allowed and still be elected to the "august"body of Congress.
A brief review of Mister Hastings record should be enough to disqualify him from serving on the Intelligence Committee much less serve as the Chairman.
Mr. Hastings who represents Florida 23rd district. A predominantly Black district, was elected to the House of representatives in 1993 just four years after being removed from the Federal Bench by the U.S. Senate following his impeachment by the House of Representatives for corruption and bribery. His crime while serving as a sitting Federal judge appointed by President Carter was for accepting a $150,000 bribe to give lenient sentences to convicted criminals Frank and Thomas Romano, and for his perjury during the case.
Mr. Hastings was only the sixth judge in U.S. history to be removed from office by the Senate!
How can Ms. Pelosi ignore these facts just to please her supporters in the Black Caucus?
