Update: 07/30/02 Traficant Sentenced to 8 Years Less than week after being expelled from the U.S. House of Representatives, former Congressman James Traficant of Ohio was sentenced today to eight years in federal prison for his April 11 conviction on charges of bribery, corruption and tax evasion. At his sentencing hearing, Traficant argued that his expulsion from Congress had been punishment enough. Judge Lesley Wells of the U.S. District Court in Cleveland, disagreed, calling Traficant's expulsion a separate political matter. Judge Wells refused to set bail for Traficant, ordering that service of his term should begin immediately. Denial of bail also sets aside all pending appeals to Traficant's conviction. A former county sheriff, Traficant had been elected to Congress nine times by the people of his Mahoning Valley, Ohio district. He has promised to run for re-election as an independent candidate in November and to serve from jail if elected. Traficant Expelled from House Democratic Rep. James Traficant of Ohio has been expelled from The U.S. House of Representatives for nine violations of the House Code of Conduct arising from his recent felony conviction. By a vote of 420-1, his fellow lawmakers yesterday made Traficant only the second member of the House expelled since the Civil War and the fifth in congressional history. Voting against the resolution expelling Traficant was Rep. Gary Condit (D-California, 18th). Nine members voted "present." Rep. Michael Myers (D-Pennsylvania), was expelled by the House in 1980 after being convicted on bribery and conspiracy charges resulting from the FBI's Abscam sting operation.

And today Kenneth E. Phillipps showed all again just what Kenneth E. Phillipps integrity is.... What a putrid selective cut and past liar you turn out be Kenneth E. Phillipps. No restrictions and complete disclosure. Do others here like me see your selective revelation of fact pure out and out dishonesty typical of a democrat, a liberal or a Kenneth E. Phillipps. "an alternative emerged that would have eliminated all restrictions on campaign contributions, and in return all contributions would be reported immediately on the Internet." tpmcafe.com Yes post the link, but selectively show only 1/2 of the relevant facts. So Kenneth E. Phillipps, So liberal, So democrat like. What disgusting personal integrity!!! Message 21926657
