If Cheney testifies in the Libby case, will it set a precedent?
look, i don't know squat about the law, so maybe someone better informed than i can comment on whether or not cheney agreeing to testify in the scooter libby case sets a precedent that might render moot a claim of executive privilege in response to subpoenas for congressional hearings... anybody...?
like i said in an earlier post, i would very much like to see cheney testify - to ANYTHING... however, the prospect of seeing the big dick verbally dismembered by fitz under cross-examination has me positively salivating... Submit To Propeller

Vice President Dick Cheney is set to be a witness for the defense in the case against former chief of staff I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, according to a report filed by the Associated Press and a statement obtained by RAW STORY.
"We're calling the vice president," the news agency quotes attorney Ted Wells as saying in court. Wells represents Libby, who is charged with perjury and obstruction of justice.
"We have cooperated fully in this matter," a statement released by Cheney's spokeswoman read, "and will continue to do so. In fairness to the parties involved, and as we have stated previously, we are not going to comment further on a legal preceeding."
