Ah, yes...that Obamabot Dick Cheney.
Objections are submitted in writing. If there are none, then it doesn’t need to be brought up. The idea that there were objections, but Cheney refused to allow them and then the objectors just said, “OK” is stupid. Not silly, just stupid.
As part of the formality of the ceremony, Cheney is to orally ask whether there any objections. kind of like at a wedding there is usually the formality where the priest asks whether there is anyone who will state why the bride and groom should not be joined in matrimony...you want a written formal objection submitted prior to the wedding?
Stupid is as stupid does Bozo...Mr Rogers.
