I believe you are incorrect
special counsel to then-Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott of Mississippi during the impeachment trial of President Clinton in 1999. *******
If he tried to help impeach Clinton , there is no way the Dems will ever accept him.
You may be right, I saw that as well. But this guy is another federalist, as was either Robert's or Alito (maybe both?).
Maybe it was the com bination of the two that sealed his fate from their POV.
Now, for Bush to show some balls and fight for him!!!
