The Supreme Court said today that Secret Service agents cannot be sued over a 2006 arrest of a man who had heckled then-Vice President Dick Cheney. In a unanimous ruling, the justices said the law on alleged retaliatory arrests is too vague to permit a lawsuit to go forward.
The narrow ruling would appear to affect only this case stemming from a 2006 incident in Beaver Creek, Colorado.
As Cheney shook hands at a shopping mall, a man named Steven Howards got in line, and, as he approached the vice president, told him the Bush administration's Iraq policies were "disgusting."
