But even by those standards, Alabama?s current situation is an outlier. In addition to Hubbard?s conviction and ouster, both the state?s governor and its chief justice are also facing removal from office.
Alabama?s House Judiciary Committee will meet this week to consider articles of impeachment against Governor Robert Bentley for the firing for Spencer Collier, the state Law Enforcement Agency secretary. Collier then accused Bentley of an extramarital affair with his senior political advisor. Bentley admitted to sending sexually explicit messages to her but denied an affair.
Last month, the Alabama Judicial Inquiry Commission also charged Chief Justice Roy Moore with six counts of violating judicial ethics. Moore issued a controversial order to the state?s probate judges in January forbidding them from issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples, effectively defying a federal district court?s orders. It would not be his first removal from office: Moore was previously ousted in 2003 for refusing to remove a Ten Commandments monument from the state supreme-court building.
Hubbard?s sentencing hearing is scheduled for July 8. He faces a maximum of 20 years in prison on each of the 12 charges.

I thought Republicans were the "moral majority"?
The Justice Department filed the charges on February 15, 2013, and Jackson pleaded guilty on February 20, 2013 to one count of wire and mail fraud in connection with his misuse of $750,000 of campaign funds. On June 7, 2013, federal prosecutors indicated that they sought a four-year prison sentence for Jackson. On August 14, 2013, Jackson was sentenced to 30 months in federal prison, while wife Sandi was sentenced to 12 months in prison for filing false tax returns in attempt to conceal the crimes.
But, thanks for enlightening me on the facts since I used to mistakenly think it was pretty much all politicians who were corrupt assholes. Fortunately for me though, through your unbiased investigative zealotry you've proven that it's only the Republicans who fit that description.
(sarcasm off)
But the collapse of the Alabama Republican government under a series of scandals in both the legislature and executive branches is enjoyable none the less
No, no. ALL politicians are corrupt.
You had 2 too many letters in your first sentence.

Your Right Wing obsession is getting out of HAND.

Pretty much, we are. We're far less tolerant of corruption and vice among our political leaders than are the Democrats.
If a Reep gets caught doing something wrong then the best he can hope for after that is an occasional consulting gig on CNN.
If a Democrat gets caught doing something wrong then they either get re-elected or their wife wins the Democrat nomination for President.

That's a dead ringer for Beaver and Andy!
Or Martin after you've put up a post.
No, it's definitely a dead ringer for you and Andy.
Oh are you talking about Lewinsky?
Lewinsky is actually among the least of the accusations against Bill Clinton.

But were' not talking about "accusations" from political opponents, we're talking CONVICTIONS aren't we?
And we all know that liberals and leftists don't have any convictions at all, right?
Enjoy that while you fuss over a Democrat congressman who misused his campaign funds.
I'm sure it won't be long before a Democrat government comes under a similar scandal - as I said the whole US political system is a massive snake pit of legalized corruption - but today's not the day.
