Wasn’t Alcee Hastings thrown off the bench by the judicial qualifications commission? When you can’t be a judge in Florida it says something BIG.

No, he was impeached by the US House of Representatives and convicted and removed from office by the US Senate, who unfortunately did not ban him from holding federal office, as they could have.
