Cheney Echoes Nixon: If The President Does It During Wartime, It Is Legal
On Fox News Sunday today, host Chris Wallace asked Vice President Cheney, “if the President, during war, decides to do something to protect the country, is it legal?” “I think as a general proposition, I’d say yes,” replied Cheney.
Cheney went on to defend the administration’s actions over the past eight years:
CHENEY: There are bound to be debates and arguments from time to time and wrestling back and forth about what kinds of authority is appropriate in any specific circumstances, but I think that what we’ve done has been totally consistent with what the Constitution provides for.

Cheney: I told Leahy to ‘f*ck’ himself because ‘I thought he merited it.’
This morning on Fox News Sunday, host Chris Wallace asked Vice President Cheney about his now infamous June 2004 exchange with Sen. Pat Leahy (D-VT), when he told Leahy to “f*ck yourself.” Cheney confirmed that he used the obscenity, saying, “I thought he merited it at the time”:
WALLACE: Did you tell Senator Leahy, “bleep yourself”?
CHENEY: I did.
WALLACE: Any qualms, second thoughts, or embarrassment?
CHENEY: No, I thought he merited it at the time and we’ve since patched over that wound.

Cheney has never read the law or the Constitution. He learned everything he's knows from the Nixon years of training. Cheney was a draft dodger and college drop out. Now he will see how it really works. Nixon had crimes against the US and got away with it. Cheney has committed crimes against the US and the World. The United Nations will file criminal chares and the US will file Civil charges. Let's see if Cheney will be smiling in jail and broke. Bush will claim he's insane which just might work but Daddy will have to pay his son's debt. Rummy will go right to the Senior retirement home. Many Law Makers will claim memory lost and retire for Medical reasons. Still the civil suits will keep coming. Who knows we might be able to recovery more then half of the stolen money.
