HUTCHINSON, Justice concurring.
I join the majority opinion. Properly interpreted, I believe it does not limit the provision of the Pennsylvania *100Constitution disqualifying from office persons convicted of crimes to crimes analogous to those which would have been grounds for disqualification at common law, such as bribery, or conduct which is criminal under Pennsylvania law. The determination of how expansively we should define the class of “infamous” crime is not necessary to this decision and is, I believe, an issue left open by the majority.
NIX, C.J., and LARSEN, McDERMOTT and ZAPPALA, JJ., join in this concurring opinion.
