Cheney lawyer claims Congress has no authority over vice-president
The lawyer for US vice-president Dick Cheney claimed today that the Congress lacks any authority to examine his behaviour on the job.
The exception claimed by Cheney's counsel came in response to requests from congressional Democrats that David Addington, the vice-president's chief of staff, testify about his involvement in the approval of interrogation tactics used at Guantanamo Bay.
Ruling out voluntary cooperation by Addington, Cheney lawyer Kathryn Wheelbarger said Cheney's conduct is "not within the [congressional] committee's power of inquiry".
"Congress lacks the constitutional power to regulate by law what a vice-president communicates in the performance of the vice president's official duties, or what a vice president recommends that a president communicate," Wheelbarger wrote to senior aides on Capitol Hill.

We clearly no longer live in a democracy. The Supreme Court has stripped the poor of their right to vote, now the VP is basically claiming ultimate authority. This is a dictatorship, pure and simple.
I'm honestly beginning to doubt we'll see a Democrat in the White House anytime soon. This administration will see to it - one way or another - that the neo-cons remain in control.
It won't be Bush - he'll be hiding in Paraguay - but McCain will surely continue the legacy of destruction.
