10% of California Senate Suspended for Gun Running, Ballot Stuffing, Bribery

The Democratically controlled California Senate has voted to suspend three Democrats who face charges in separate criminal cases, after the latest lawmaker to be hauled into court refused to step down. Friday's 28-1 vote in the 40-member chamber came amid one of the most severe ethical crises in modern times for the Legislature in the nation's most populous state. The resolution prevents Democratic Sens. Ron Calderon, Leland Yee and Rod Wright from exercising any power of their office until the pending criminal cases against them have been resolved.

Yee, who had championed gun control legislation and bills targeting violent video games sold to minors, is the latest of the three senators to be charged. Investigators said Yee discussed helping the agent get weapons, including shoulder-fired missiles, to help pay off campaign debts.

Wright was convicted of voter fraud and perjury and faces sentencing in May.

Calderon faces federal charges for allegedly accepting $100,000 in bribes for friends and family in exchange for pushing certain bills.

Sen. Kevin de Leon of Los Angeles defended the chamber's reputation. "This is the best legislative institution in the country, hands down," he said.
