Dick Cheney’s Principles

News of the death of Vice President Cheney this morning is received with sadness here at the Sun. He was one of the most principled politicians of his time, and during his time in office was — in the view of the Sun — one of the stars of the administration of President George W. Bush. Even when we disagreed with him, as we did over, say, the J6 committee, we admired the way he, more often than others, based his views in a constitutional context.
