It seems that Cheney has a bit of a history of remembering oaths of office in fanciful ways:

Am I the only one who noticed? I hope not. But just in case, let me note that Vice President Dick Cheney made a huge misstatement to his West Point audience on May 26. I hope that, at a minimum, the West Point history majors noticed it. Near the end of his speech at the United States Military Academy commencement, Mr. Cheney stated:

“On your first day of Army life, each one of you raised your right hand and took an oath. And you will swear again today to defend the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic. That is your vow, that is the business you’re in.”

Well, not quite. Here is the actual oath that newly minted officers in the U.S. Army take…

Cheney Misstates Military Oath, David R. Henderson, Antiwar.com, June 4, 2007

But well before that, Cheney shames our Founding Fathers — particularly the example George Washington set in the revolution.

I don’t particularly blame the “public”. They believe what they are told. It saddens me that there are so few statesmen of high standing who have the wisdom and courage to take a public stand for what is right and so few media outlets that will give them a voice to broadcast it.

I assume you are living in Iran, Cuba, North Korea, or perhaps China correct?

No patriotic U.S. citizen would ever utter such utter tripe as you just have.

Of course torture is illegal, duh!

But what he’s not counting on is the law of conspiracy: any act taken in furtherance of a conspiracy is an additional act of conspiracy.

Cheney ordered torture (…or persuaded Boy George to order it…) with the plan of escaping punishment by getting a pardon. This makes a pardon PART of the plan of conspiracy; thus Cheney cannot extinguish his criminal liability for the conspiracy by a pardon (a pardon granted as part of a conspiracy cannot be the object of the pardon itself, since a pardon is only for past actions …not an action taken at the same time as a pardon.)

Never in history has a sovereign pardoned a co-conspirator to a crime; pardons are part of the common law and there is no precedent for a president conspiring with a subordinate to commit a crime with the assurance that the co-conspirator would escape punishment via pardon.

Of course, you need a president with the courage to jail the bastards, something we don’t know if we’ll ever get.

Guess again, Cheney. You, Bush and all those you directed in your administration BROKE this vow.

Not BROKE, it is called treason. And TREASON is NOT PARDONABLE. So, all these circle-jerk snickering Republotraitors had better get a backup plan because we are coming. And we are gonna come hard.

5 million on inauguration day surrounding chimp and deadeye. As soon as Obama finishes the oath of office, rush the stage and CITIZEN ARREST THESE FUKERS.

O.K., geniuses. Please cite the U.S. law that was broken by using enhanced interrogation techniques.

Hint… you can’t do it.

My GOD you are ignorant of COURSE I can. The convention against torture statute
http://opencrs.com/document/RL32438/2005-02-10

In 1994, Congress enacted a new federal law to implement the requirements of the Convention against Torture relating to acts of torture committed outside United States territory. This law, which is codified at 18 U.S.C. § 2340 et seq., extends United States criminal jurisdiction over any act of (or attempt to commit) torture outside the United States by a United States national or by an alleged offender present in the United States regardless of his or her nationality. The statute adopts the Convention?s definition of torture, consistent with the terms of United States ratification. It permits the criminal prosecution of alleged torturers in federal courts in specified circumstances. [p. 13]

So the question is do you only post here to show how ignorant you are and that you NEVER know what you are talking about or do you just enjoy making a fool out of yourself?

Hint… you can’t do it.

Just checking in today, so may be to late to add my comment or someone may have already said this in the other comments, but HERE is the vow the new President makes (as well as the V.P. and all new members of the Congress)

“I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”

Guess again, Cheney. You, Bush and all those you directed in your administration BROKE this vow.

This man is full of the most convoluted logic. That these two Bush and Cheney, could have come together and done what they have done is frightening. In crime there are sometimes two people who meet and become what just one of them might not have been. Sort of a symbiotic relationship. Where only together they become one terrible person. And had they not met, each might have gone on to do no real harm. It is water seeking it’s own level.

To say he is insane is not true of course. But he is a very disturbed man. Trying to explain it to him, would be like trying to describe color to someone without eye sight. He does not have the ability to feel compassion or empathy for anyone. He is unable to place himself in someone else’s place, to try and feel what they might be feeling. Like Bush it is not in his nature to be introspective, or to understand his own nature or failings. This is what makes him so dangerous.
