Cheney has storied history behind scenes

A link to a story in the San Francisco Chronicle about Cheney and the shit he has been pulling for over 30 years. He didn't come out of nowhere and neither did his views on presidential authority. Much the same can be said for Rumsfeld as well. What scares me is that this administrations actions are going to set a precedent for future administrations to disregard the law. The idea that the President and his administration are not to be held accountable for their actions is something only a delusional administration could come up with. And that is what we have. The next 2 years should be interesting now that the balance of power has shifted parties. No longer will those that question the current administrations actions be ignored. With any luck Cheney and Rumsfeld will both pass on before they can rise to power again and make a mockery of the democratic process.
