From the Carpetbagger Report:
Yesterday, Cheney’s lawyers rolled out Absurd Rationalization #2.
Vice President Cheney’s office offered its first public written explanation yesterday for its refusal to comply with an executive order regulating the handling of classified material, arguing that the order makes clear that the vice president is not subject to the oversight system it creates for federal agencies.
In a letter to Sen. John F. Kerry (D-Mass.), Cheney Chief of Staff David S. Addington wrote that the order treats the vice president the same as the president and distinguishes them both from “agencies” subject to the oversight provisions of the executive order.
Addington did not cite specific language in the executive order supporting this view, and a Cheney spokeswoman could not point to such language last night.

As with Nixon who didn't think he had to answer to anyone and look what happen. President Cheney was a student of Nixon and is using the same policy that Nixon tried before he was impeached. Now with the help of side kick Karl Rove, President Cheney is putting people in position. Supreme Court, DOJ, Government Officials and denying minorities to vote. I think the biggest plan is to have only one party for the country yet just the Republican party.
Cheney, others served with subpoenas by wiretapping investigators!!!
