Couldn't the article have provided this basic information? The honorable Senator represents his native state of Alagoas. He is also a distinguished legal scholar and served this country with distinction as a Minister of JUSTICE in one of the previous governments. ;) - João da Silva Fri, 07 Dec 2007 14:11:47 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/8950/54/#pc_12288 The crook resigned from the Senate Presidency, but keeps his Senator position. The Ethic Commitee recommended he should be expuised. The majority of the Senators refused.......ONCE MORE ! Just as disgusting when YOUR senators REFUSED to fire ALL those involved in the vote buying scandal.... Worse yet....they voted.....AND PARDONED THOSE GUILTY !!!! The only one fired, through a vote, was the senator who revealed the scandal !!!! Short memory ? Of course....better to not have a good memory. What a shame. - ch.c.
