However Lott's attempts not to make waves and playing nicey nice with the democrats and the Black caucus and the union leaders and other liberal cohorts by originally postponing the administration's passage of bills till next year was just that.
But why he did not permit witnesses to testify,and by placing other obstacles in the way during the impeachment trial of Bill Clinton ,[which would have more than likely resulted in Clinton been indicted,]is incomprehensible.
