[Non-Sequitur]

All Mr. Cheney need do is to respond to a point of order raised from the floor concerning this point...and, boom, the ersatz supermajority ''requirement'' is history as regards the nomination/advice process is concerned.

So the Vice President is supposed to lie?

What lie? What's this?

The point is, as MoConservative explained so well, to simply effect a change in Senate procedural rule XXII. No ''lies'' are necessary, of any kind or description.

This rule, from an en passant interpretation, has been corrupted from its decades-long intent of and usage for not stifling debate on legislative matters into a catch-all universal supermajority requirement for ANYthing to proceed.

Lies, forsooth? In a procedural change? Oh, puh-lee-ze. Demagogue something else, you apparent Daschle wannabe.
