I wonder if Justice Scalia will be as eager to rejoin Cheney on his hunting trips? Imagine the confirmation fight over the his replacement if Cheney had shot him.

As for this -

Quote:
Cheney, OTOH, frequently goes hunting, and Whittington "...shot a bird and went to look for it in the tall grass, as his hunting companions walked to another spot where they found a second covey of quail. Mr. Whittington 'came up from behind the vice president and the other hunter and didn't signal them or indicate to them or announce himself,' Mrs. Armstrong told the A.P." -- NYT
it brings up the uncomforatable choice of startling someone with a loaded gun or not letting them know where you are. So when Cheney wheeled and shot, did he do it with his eyes closed?
