The Cheney Decision: A Missed Chance to Straighten Out Some Muddled Issues

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

The Supreme Court's ruling in Cheney v. United States District Court for the District of Columbia was not really surprising; in some ways it was fully in keeping with this term's big theme - deciding not to decide. As predictable as it may have been, though, the Court's opinion in Cheney represents a missed opportunity for the Court to educate and clarify on two confusing subjects: so-called executive privileges and immunities, and the complex office of the vice presidency.
