Dahlia Lithwick on Cheney

This short piece by Dahlia Lithwick on Vice President Cheney's rhetorical achievements concerning the law and our constitution is highly recommended. She hits the nails directly on the head.

Her most important point is that, for some reason, we keep inventing reasons not to investigate and prosecute Bush administration officials, even after they publicly admit to acts long recognized as criminal. Heads up to any strongman in waiting - our citizens are compliant as sheep.

Or maybe just hopelessly partisan.

Its a good short read, so I hope you spend five minutes on your political education.
