Roll Call reports that the Senate Democratic leader is saying Bush lied: Bush told him the White House would not get involved in the fight over judicial-confirmation rules, but then Dick Cheney said he would vote for a rules change as president of the Senate. It doesn’t look like Reid has a lot to go on here. Here’s Cheney’s statement: “If the Senate majority decides to move forward and if the issue is presented to me in my elected office as President of the Senate and presiding officer, I will support bringing those nominations to the floor for an up-or-down vote.” He doesn’t say he’s going to try to get the Senate majority to go this route. Did Reid think he had gotten a commitment from Bush that Cheney wouldn’t vote for a rules change if it came to him? You can’t infer that from what Reid says the president said.
