What would Cheney do?

Okay, so last week VP Cheney comes out in favor of gay marriage, kinda. But my question is, what would he do if he became President? His main duty as VP is to take over if something were to happen to the President, right? Would he continue the administration's backing of an amendment banning gay marriage? If not, shouldn't W get a VP who backs him on his policies? You can't have it both ways, can you? And for the repeated GOP statements about "activist" courts forcing this issue on America, um, wasn't it "activist" courts who forced integration on America? If you took a poll 40 years ago, I'm sure most Americans would have been either against or indifferent towards civil rights. Just because the majority wants something doesn't make it right. Remember, Hitler came into power by the ballot box.
