Interesting thing about the Wright case:<p><i>Many</i> CA legislators were infamous about running for districts in which they did not live.  One of these was David Roberti, a member of the Democrat leadership who built his career on firearms ban (CA&#x27;s first &quot;assault-weapon ban&quot; was officially the Roberti-Roos act).<p>The CA media generally refused to report on this until he was term-limited out.<p>I always wondered if one of the reasons that Wright was left to twist in the wind was that he dared oppose the Democrat leadership on some issues... like gun bans.<p>&lt;The State Senate actually suspended all three members.&gt;<p>I don&#x27;t know if any was suspended <i>before</i> suffering felony indictments.  Calderon was not only <i>not</i> suspended, he officially remained in office (drawing full salary and benefits) for the rest of his term.  Wright was not suspended until <i>after</i> his felony <i>convictions</i>.
