Claire, my response to Cheney is very similar to your response. I can remember when my conversations with conservative friends were valuable and important, they were about a belief and hope for a promise the EUA offered despite our differences. That the GOP has chosen to reject her because of her principles, because of her commitment to her specific understanding of the constitution, is an indictment not of her but them.
Brilliant essay. Had me choked up at the end — for a Cheney!

Great column Claire. Important to recognize courage.
