"Congressman wants Kent impeached; He also wants to deny retirement for judge who pleaded guilty in sex-crimes case"

"Congressman wants Kent impeached; He also wants to deny retirement for judge who pleaded guilty in sex-crimes case": Today in The Houston Chronicle, Mary Flood has an article that begins, "A ranking congressional judiciary committee Republican said Tuesday he will call for the impeachment of U.S. District Judge Samuel Kent, who pleaded guilty to obstruction of justice this week. U.S. Rep. James Sensenbrenner, R-Wis., said Tuesday that once Kent has been sentenced he will introduce a resolution to impeach the 59-year-old jurist who is seeking to retire with full pay." In addition, columnist Rick Casey has an op-ed entitled "The Judge Sam soap opera continues."

Pamela A. MacLean of The National Law Journal reports that "Kent's abrupt retirement shrouded in mystery."

And at the web site of the Houston Press, Richard Connelly has a blog post titled "What We Missed Because Of Judge Kent's Plea Deal."
