Judge on Trial Before Senate - Evidently, Character Does Matter

This judge was appointed by President Clinton.  Isn't he the one that told us that character didn't matter?

A federal judge from Louisiana is corrupt and unfit to serve on the bench, House members said Monday as they began a rare congressional impeachment trial by laying out their case against the jurist. Playing the role of prosecutors, Reps. Adam B. Schiff, California Democrat, and Robert W. Goodlatte, Virginia Republican, used their opening statements to a Senate impeachment panel to outline what they called a decades-long pattern of unethical behavior by New Orleans-area U.S. District Judge G. Thomas Porteous. They said that included taking cash, expensive meals and other gifts from lawyers and a bail bondsman, lying to Congress and filing for bankruptcy under a false name.
