Dick Cheney is - - -

Above the law?

That's not exactly what he says. He says the law means what he says it does.

And do you suppose he'd have left any paper trail, or that when the dust settles there will be one?

Whether or not you have answers to the last paragraph in your heart and mind, the CREW litigation against Cheney has reached a cross-summary judgment stage, over whether his view of the "vice presidency" as somehow unique from the reach of the Presidential Records Act is or certainly appears to be moving toward a court opinion.

With the worse president and vice president in the history of the nation about to exit their lawful powers attached to their having taken those positions over the past eight years, nailing down the bogus nature of the Cheney position over public ownership and right to custody over vice presidential records, such as he leaves them intact for history, is immediately important for some kind of proper resolution.

As proper a resolution as the personality and nature of Dick Cheney will permit.

Barney cam and all. It should be called Blarney cam, shouldn't it?
