26 Oct 2005 Trent Lott to Citizens’ Groups: Shove Off

From the Washington Post, Trent Lott tells citizens’ groups to take a hike, as outside views are not wanted on Supreme Court nomination:

Lott cautioned that outside groups have a limited ability to influence senators of either party. ‘I’ll call them when I need to hear from them,’ he said. ‘As far as I’m concerned, they can all shove off, left and right.’
