The House approved four articles of impeachment against Kent accusing him of sexually assaulting two female employees and lying to judicial investigators and Justice Department officials. All four articles passed unanimously.
Kent, 59, entered a federal prison in Massachusetts on Monday to serve a 33-month sentence. He pleaded guilty last month to lying to judicial investigators about sexual assaults of two female employees.
Kent is refusing to resign until next year so he can continue to draw his $174,000 a year salary. If he is convicted of the impeachment charges in the Senate, he will be forced off the bench.

Hopefully the trial will be televised. That should make for some interesting reality TV.

Now if they'd only start charged - and dismissing - the Haliburton employees who brutally raped their female coworker(s). AMong other brutal rapes that have occurred at the hands of the supposed "good guys".
Weed 'em out folks! Let's get the creeps and assholes out of power!-
