(( After days of meeting behind closed doors, the senate made quick work of two major decisions.
SEN. TRENT LOTT/SENATE MAJORITY LEADER:I BELIEVE WE'RE READY FOR THE VOTE.
The first was to dismiss this case all together.
As predicted it failed - -- but it was only a temporary victory for Republicans.
Although it allowed the case to move forward, it also showed there clearly wern't enough votes to remove the president from office.
SEN. TOM DASCHLE/SENATE MINORITY LEADER:
NOW IS THE TIME TO END THIS.ANYTHING IS A DELAY.
And the white house agreed.
GREGORY CRAIG/WHITE HOUSE SPECIAL COUNSEL:
ANY PROCEEDINGS - RUN CONTRARY TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
But this trial still has legs - belonging to Monica Lewinsky, Vernon Jordan and Sydney Blumenthal.
the vote to question all three passed easily -- again almost along party lines with wisconsin's russ feingold the only democrat to defect for the second time of the day.
WILLIAM RENHQUIST/CHIEF JUSTICE:
THE VOTE IS 56 TO 44, THE MOTION IS AGREED TO.
But at that point, the Senate had run out of road. a
republican proposal was in the works that would complete despositions
By early next week, with a final vote on the articles scheduled by February 6th.
But the details were anything but nailed down - and another break had to be taken.
SEN. TRENT LOTT//SENATE MAJORITY LEADER:
