Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley (R) has spent the past year unsuccessfully digging out of a growing heap of political trouble related to an alleged affair with a former top aide and allegations that he used public resources to carry it out and cover it up.

Now, the governor is faced with the possibility that he could lose his job, go to jail — or both.

On Saturday, more than a year after news of the affair broke wide open, the Alabama Supreme Court okayed impeachment proceedings in the GOP-controlled state House against the governor.

The House Judiciary Committee is expected to consider his impeachment Monday, based in part on a 3,000-page report the committee's lawyer released Friday that included such scandalous details as "security personnel reported seeing [top aide Rebekah Caldwell Mason] leaving the office with her hair tousled and her clothing in disarray," text messages between the two, allegations the governor threatened to fire or even arrest his wife's staffers for talking about the affair.
