I have bumped this thread with the hope of renewing discussion of Cheney's ideological influence upon presidents, past and present. Under the new rules of the politics forum, civil discussion may be possible.
I still believe that Cheney and Rumsfeld are the architects of this administration's policies. I also believe that their machinations are once again threatening the position of the executive. I find it so ironic the Cheney's continued pursuit of a universal presidency ultimately achieves the opposite result. Congress and the judiciary will reassert their roles, as they did under the Nixon administration.
