Rahm Emanuel has introduced a bill to delete spending for Cheney's office on the ground that Cheney claims, when convenient, that the vice-president's office is not "an entity within the executive branch."
"When convenient." He has indeed been saying this for a while, but he didn't always sing that tune.
[W]hen Cheney was fighting attempts by Congress to determine who had attended his secret meetings on energy policy, his whole argument was that he didn’t have to comply…because he was a member of the executive branch. In fact, let’s resurrect Cheney’s actual words at the time: he said that a congressional investigation into his energy task force “would unconstitutionally interfere with the functioning of the executive branch.”
Flip flop? He simply doesn't care. Whatever he can get away with. And he's been getting away with an awful lot.
....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
