Bush "doesn't have a blank check. He's not the final word. We have a Constitution," Arlen Specter said Wednesday night on CCCPNN. "I intend to press hard, because there are very fundamental values at issue here: civil rights and congressional oversight authority." We have a Constitution Ave. Cheney's response to Specter, however, offered no apologies and did not address Specter's questions about the wiretapping program or other Off White House actions. The vice president described his conversations with republican senators simply as "government at work." Despite their disagreements, "we should proceed in a practical way to build on the areas of agreement," Cheney wrote. "We look forward to working with you, knowing of the good faith on all sides." Smoke up Dick, you always got that chronic.
