That is nothing more than liberal revisionist propaganda. The vote for conviction and removal of our disgraced former President was very much winnable. The fact is that Lott permitted nothing more than a show trial in that he refused desperate pleas by Schiffers and the House Impeachment Managers to give them a fair chance including extra witnesses and the presentation of evidence, but Lott opposed them at every turn to protect Bill Clinton's butt!! On that basis alone, Lott should have been deposed nearly four years ago. Now, that this whole segregationist debacle thing has come up, conservatives are licking their chops because Lott's fate is pretty much sealed and with God's help, he will be replaced by a real conservative like Don Nickles who does not believe in caving to the RATS.
Of course, there were Senators even more pro-Clinton and pro-RAT during the impeachment crisis like Orrin Hatch who was practically jeered out of the Utah State Convention for opposing a Senate impeachment trial and for promising to personally lead Clinton's defense if he only admitted he lied.
