Did You Hear What Dick Cheney Signed?

In case you haven't heard, U.S. Vice President Richard Cheney signed an amicus brief filed with the U.S. Supreme Court regarding the DC v. Heller case.

Mr. Cheney signed, along with the largest number of co-signers of a congressional amicus brief in American history, a strong brief in support of the individual rights view of the 2A, urging the justices to affirm a lower court decision stating the the District of Columbia's ban on handguns is unconstitutional.

In all, 55 members of the Senate and 250 members of the House of Representatives co-signed this brief along with the vice president.
