Cheney pledges filibuster override

By Charles Hurt

Vice President Dick Cheney jumped into the escalating fight in the Senate over the filibusters of President Bush's judicial nominees with his sharpest words yet.
"For more than 200 years, the Senate has exercised this responsibility by voting either to confirm or reject nominations sent up by the president," he told a gathering of Republican lawyers yesterday. "Recently, however, a minority of senators has turned away from two centuries of practice and begun filibustering judicial nominees."


Yes, I hoping he is committing political suicide so he can retire early to his log cabin in Wyoming.

No big surprise that he decided to lie about it too...
