Lott on Miers' withdrawal: ""It says the Senate is going to do its job."

It's a nice respite from "straight up and down vote," but I'm sure it's just a respite. :eyes:

"I think she made the right decision, and I appreciate it," said Sen. George Allen (R-Va.), a possible 2008 presidential candidate who had been scheduled to meet with Miers this morning.

Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) called the document issue a "red herring," and Republican senators made no bones about the central role the furor among conservative activists played in Miers's departure.

"It really shows the maturity of the party," said Sam Brownback (R-Kan.), another potential presidential candidate. "This is not a one-person party."

"I'm not just going to roll over," said Sen. Trent Lott (R-Miss.).

Asked for an interpretation of Senate Republicans' cool reaction to Miers, Lott said, "It says the Senate is going to do its job."

3. What happened to the straight up and down vote?

The GOP laughed it off. Even though it's been their mantra all along. Can you believe this arrogance? Let them try that again.
