It was last used unsuccessfully in 1891 against two state officials who had become mired in a bribery and embezzlement scandal involving Philadelphia's treasurer. Unlike Kane, neither man had been criminally charged and the Senate's then-Republican majority decided it lacked jurisdiction to oust them.
It is time to go, Ms. Kane!!

After she got into office, it would appear that she wasn't going after the right kind of corruption in the right order.
The charges for removing her seem rather remote, compared to the handling of those in high offices involved or covering up for Sandusky and pornography.
I just want a good explanation. You might be right, but anyone with half a brain must know how corrupt this state is.

(28,394 posts)and now losing her license, that she can no longer serve the people of the state. I had high hopes for her when she first came in, especially on the Sandusky matter and supporting same-sex marriage. That took courage to oppose Corbett. However, it seems to me that she cannot get herself out of this legal quagmire before the next election.
I only know what I read in the papers, though. There is always be more to the story. I believe there are powerful people lined up against her and probably "out to get her," and for that I admire her determination to clear her name. The legal process is going to take a very long time and in the interim, who is running the AG's office and are there important legal matters that are not being given enough attention? Don't know the answer.
