Impeached Congressman Hastings on bilingual ballots

Again via AP

Rep. Alcee Hastings, D-Fla., opened the debate by calling the conservatives who want to strike the bill's requirements for bilingual ballots present-day "ideological soul mates" of lawmakers who opposed the 1964 Civil Rights Act.

Hastings is a former federal judge who was impeached and removed from office for "perjury and conspiracy to obtain a bribe." Now he is a Congressman who thinks he has the right to make false accusations.
