Seemingly everyone who's not a fan of the administration or Dick Cheney has already announced their support for this - so let me add my voice to the cause. This is both exactly what the Vice President deserves, and a serious political boon for the Democrats, if it gets enough coverage (as Dick Cheney's about as popular as syphilis and Ehud Olmert). Go Congressman Emanuel!

I also would like to see a little more exploration of the idea that since the VP Cheney is not part of the executive branch, then his claims of executive privilege ought to be zapped at well.

He is the Highlander.
