Not only did he not call for objections, he ignored the ones who were shouting at him to call for them because they were objecting. He slammed the gavel so fast, it seemed absurd.

Until that moment, I thought those who thought Bush/Cheney were involved in something illicit were nuts. My heart hurt to contemplate what that meant.

I must admit that Cheney's bizarre behavior in this important historical moment tends to make many other haunting questions about the Bush/Cheney White House just that less mysterious. It stretches the bounds of credibility for me to suppose that Cheney was simply having a "senior moment".

It hurts mightily to be betrayed by those we implicitly trust, doesn't it? It appears that the American people we're had by both sides of this power struggle.

It's things like this that cause many Americans to conclude that we no longer have anything resembling a constitutional republic, and that what we see in Washington is simply a show for the peasants, while the real strings are being pulled elsewhere.

The Framers saw this coming, and tried their best to erect safeguards against it, but it's happened anyway. We truly need to "clean house".

Yes. We all know that politicians can't be trusted and they're always playing games, but to knowingly turn the country to someone who's goal is to destroy America can never be forgiven.
