Peter Anthony DeFazio (born May 27, 1947 in Needham, Massachusetts) currently serves as the Democratic U.S. Representative from Oregon's 4th congressional district. Previously he served as a county commissioner in Lane County, Oregon.
DeFazio has a reputation as one of the most liberal members of Congress, often voting against liberal legislation because it was not liberal enough. In October 2010, facing the strongest challenge to his reelection in his career, he announced that he would be investigating how to impeach "Justice Roberts" of the U.S. Supreme Court, apparently not realizing that his the Chief Justice.
