Cheney declares himself above the law

For all of you fans of the current administration, Cheney is working on declaring himself completely above the law.

Last spring, Cheney asserted that he wasn't subject to executive-branch rules about classified information because he wasn't actually part of the executive branch.

Now his office argues that he and his staff are completely immune from congressional oversight. That's right: Completely immune.

I can't imagine this could possibly last, right? The next president can put this shit to bed — just Cheney saying it doesnt make it true, right? I mean, unlike everything else that he and Bush have said/done/declared true the last 8 years.

I'm going to go sit in the corner and cry.
