Lott is glad Miers withdrew


CAPITOL HILL A conservative Republican senator who'd had some concerns about Harriet Miers says she made the "right decision" in withdrawing her nomination to the Supreme Court.

Trent Lott of Mississippi tells C-N-N that his objections to Miers weren't based on her philosophy, but were about her qualifications and her competence.

He says he thinks the issue of executive privilege -- and whether the White House should release records of conversations between Miers and President Bush -- was a "serious concern" of Miers. He says he's heard that she's "very loyal" to Bush as his White House counsel, and concerned about protecting his right of confidentiality.
