How good a lawyer do you have to be to prove that someone who is officially an inhabitant of Wyoming isn't an inhabitant of Texas? The case brought against Cheney was a terrible one, I could have won that case and I'm not even a lawyer. I wonder what that "high powered legal beagle"'s win-loss record is. If he takes many cases like this it cannot be very good.

On or about July 21, 2000 Secretary Cheney declared his intent to return to his home state ofWyoming. Ps. App. 3. On or after that date, and before today, he traveled to Wyoming and registered to vote there, requested withdrawal of his Texas voter registration, voted in Wyoming in two elections, obtained a Wyoming driver's license (which, in turn, resulted in the voiding of his Texas license), and sold his Texas house. Id. at 4--5, 16; Ds. App. 2, 7. n13 He advised the United States Secret Service that his primary residence [**22] is his home in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, and he retired from employment with Halliburton. Ps. App. 4. He also requested that the United States Postal Service rescind a prior order on file in Teton County, Wyoming to forward mail to Dallas, Texas. Id. at 8. One of his four vehicles is registered in the state of Wyoming and is physically located there. Id. at 5.

What is this decision supposed to prove? That someone who could under those circumstances prove that Cheney is from Wyoming is a genius?

It doesn't prove anything. It does however destroy the argument that she has never argued a constitutional case in a court of law. I'd suggest you read the briefs. HArriet Miers was the lead attorney for Bush and Sanderson, a renowned constitutional scholar with all the right pedigree was her opponent.

But I'm not gonna bang my head against any walls. And evidently your a wall.

Regards.
