"U.S. House impeaches Kent"

"U.S. House impeaches Kent": The Houston Chronicle has a news update that begins, "The House today impeached imprisoned U.S. District Court Judge Samuel B. Kent and sent his case to the Senate for trial. The Senate is expected to quickly convene a trial -- possibly within a matter of weeks -- to cut off the judge's $174,000 annual federal salary. The House overwhelmingly adopted four articles of impeachment against the 59-year-old jurist on rapid-fire roll call votes over the course of 30 minutes. The vote on the first article of impeachment was 389-0. Not a single member of the House spoke on Kent's behalf."
