Stevens said he wasn’t going to look back and he waited for a day when he would be vindicated.

Many came to hear his speech, and he was given a standing ovation, something that is against the senate’s rules.

Stevens, 85, has served on the senate for 40 years. He is appealing his felony convictions, but is not asking for a pardon from the president. Also departing was Senator Larry Craig, embroiled in the infamous men’s room scandal.
