1. Chenney wouldn't do that...

With a Bush ass-kissing congress and a bunch of democrats who would love to impeach Chenney, he could be gone in a heartbeat.

2. I agree that he wouldn't do that, but only because

I figure, if he was going to do something along those lines, he would have done it already

3. The Shadow Government

Secret Rule

It is becoming increasingly apparent to American citizens that government is no longer being conducted in accordance with the U.S. Constitution, or, within states, according to state constitutions. While people have recognized for more than 150 years that the rich and powerful often corrupt individual officials, or exert undue influence to get legislation passed that favors their interests, most Americans still cling to the naive belief that such corruption is exceptional, and that most of the institutions of society, the courts, the press, and law enforcement agencies, still largely comply with the Constitution and the law in important matters. They expect that these corrupting forces are disunited and in competition with one another, so that they tend to balance one another.
