Our problem is that a speaker of the house, and some recruited gangs and mobs, has stretched her hairy arms way up and bent the thing down to a very low level, so that scoundrels and rapscallions and low down criminals can scamper right over it.

Oh it goes well beyond Nancy Pelosi and must then include every Senator, Congressman, and Dick Cheney himself.

The Congress is scheduled to meet in joint session in the House of Representatives on January 6, 2009 to conduct the official tally of electoral votes. The Vice President, as President of the Senate, is the presiding officer. Two tellers are appointed to open, present and record the votes of the States in alphabetical order. The President of the Senate announces the results of the vote and declares which persons, if any, have been elected President and Vice President of the United States. The results are entered into the official journals of the House and Senate. The President of the Senate then calls for objections to be made. If any objections are registered, they must be submitted in writing and be signed by at least one member of the House and Senate. The House and Senate would withdraw to their respective chambers to consider the merits of any objections according the procedure set out under 3 U.S.C. section 15.

Frankly I don’t care if it involves Cheney. I couldn’t explain his failure in this other than to think he’s been in Washington for too many decades. If he needs to face legal consequences, then so be it.

I trust no man above conservative principle.
