Cheney has been acting arrogantly, giving Congress the finger, and telling them to go fuck themselves for a long time.

Congress, for all this time, has replied, "Yes, Sir, Mr. Cheney, Sir," and not only fucked itself, but also fucked Afghanistan, Iraq, and their own constituents here in the U.S.A.

The White House will not comply with Congressional subpoenas, and the Supreme Court won't make them. Congress can't even cut funds to Cheney's office, despite Cheney declaring his office not to be part of the Executive branch, because they don't have the votes--if they had the votes, they could easily have impeached him a long time ago.

And the reason they don't have the votes, is because, as every BradBlog reader knows, when a Democrat wins a Presidential election, they concede to the Republican loser, when there are contested Congressional elections between Democrats and Republicans, the Democratic majority in Congress will not investigate and prefers to swear in the Republicans (the Democrats need those Republican votes in order to keep impeachment off the table), and right now most Democrats in Congress are pushing for bills that will ensure that they never have the votes to do what their constituents want, instead of what Cheney wants.

Yes, Cheney is telling Congress to go fuck itself again, and, as usual, Congress will whine and snivel a little to please the voters back home, but will, as always, do eactly what Cheney tells them to do.

They really don't have much choice. They are as fully aware as we are that if they don't obey Cheney, he could see that some more Congressmembers are anthraxed, arrange for them to meet with mysterious single vehicle or plane "accidents," or order Bush to nuke Iran just to take everyone's attention off those goddamned pieces of paper Congress wants, which, like the Constitution, are not worthy of Cheney's time or consideration.

If Conyers wants, he can get up another petition, get a few million signatures on it, and see if the guards will let him pass it through the gates of the White House, and if not, maybe Congress can threaten to stop paying the rent there also--another empty threat.

Another day, another week, another year, another bunch of FUs from the White House and the Supreme Court to Congress and the American people, and this is supposed to be news?

I'm going over to NarcoNews to see if Hugo Chavez and the Bolivarian Revolution have some more good news I can read about. And for those who haven't seen Michael Moore's new film, Sicko, Che Guevara's daughter, Aleida Guevara, has a cameo in the film. Che Guevara, presente!

The Constitution, which Cheney swore to uphold, actually appears to indicate that the VP position is part of the Executive branch. It mentions VP in Article II, along with the President and words like "executive".

Since these Congressmen are clearly aware of the absurdity of his comments and clearly aware of his high crimes against the Constitution and the nation, don't they have some Constitutional recourse? Hmmm.

They sure do, Ellen, but I think they need to be dragged at gunpoint to bring up the articles and vote for them... maybe just by the ears, but if WE don't do that dragging, they've already told us no chance they'll go there.

All Americans are fed up with the misleading statements from Bush, Cheney, the Attorney General and the Bush Administration about this illegal program and many, many other issues.

Americans want action from the Democrats.... not talk..."Action"... which means "Impeachment".

Once impeached the guilty party is forever band from holding any public service or government office. This would stop many of the younger Dick Cheney like participants/mentors in the Bush Adminstration from later returning to politics to again reek havoc upon our children and grandchildren lives.

It's real simple if the Democrats want money from us common folk for the 20O8 elections.... "WE WANT ALL THE LYING B""TARDS IN THE BUSH ADMINSTRATION IMPEACHED"

Just when you think things can't get much worse:

Now Cheney has dropped the defense that he isn't part of the Executive Branch of government, and claims that he IS part of the Executive Branch.

That's impossible. Neither Bush nor Cheney were ever legitimately elected. The claim that they weren't part of the Executive Branch was the first truth to come out of the White House since January 2001. And now they're back to lying again.

Don't believe 'em!

When Cheney was a Vice Admiral he claimed he was not part of the Navy

He is so adorably consistent isn't he?

Can Cheney claim "executive privilege", if he's not part of the executive branch...like he claims?
