In a trap of his own devising?

It is possible that the White House and perhaps the Attorney General might be able to fight off these subpoenas from the US Senate's Judiciary Committee over the illegal wiretap scandal but I think that Vice President and sole member of the heretofore unknown Fourth Branch of the US Government "I'm a Big" Dick Cheney is in trouble.

Surely he doesn't have the unmitigated gall to claim executive privilege now that he has declared himself free of the Executive Branch.

OK - maybe he does have the gall to try it but who will let him get away with it? It is now like this Democratic controlled Congress to roll over is it?
