Okay, all kidding and open-season-on-lawyers jokes aside, here's hoping the dude gets through this all okay. At his age there's no such thing as a "minor" heart attack.
Well in all 50 states, "accidentally" shooting someone while hunting results in an automatic license loss... unless, I suppose, you're "making the laws", right?

I'm the least you could do, oh yeah

I would still get screwed
What's the big deal? VP of the US shot some lawyer accidentally while hunting..and now lawyer has a minor heart attack....c'mon people, this stuff happens ALL THE TIME!
It could actually be pretty bad for him.
When a coronary artery occludes naturally it is a gradual process and nearby arteries can spread and take up the slack.
An occlusion by a foreign object is an entirely different matter.
Impeach Bush for illegal wiretapping... and impeach Cheney along with him - for MANSLAUGHTER! Oh, wait the guy didn't die yet. Ok, aggravated assault.

It's highly unlikely that the pellet will have any long-lasting effect once the initial inflammation is over, which is what caused the arrythmia to start with because of the inflammations effect on atrial conduction. The angiogram showed no arterial occlusion at all; in fact he's said to have the arteries of a much younger man.
As for Bush: legislation is already in the pipeline to make these intercepts "legal" even in the eyes of those who don't think it already is, and it has the support of both party leaderships. Could be passed & signed within weeks.
Given the publc support for said intercepts the pol's have seen the light, at least those with an ounce of common sense.

Wait: It is possible to create legislation that makes things that happened in the past and which were, under the law then, illegal, legal afterwards? If so, are you not worried about the implications of this? Maybe what you do now, legally, will be ruled illegal retroactively and you're suddenly a criminal?

I don't get it
Did the pellet get to his heart directly, or through an artery?
I don't think many people think the intercepts, as described , should be illeagal.
The problem is that under current law they are and Bush's attitude seems to be "so what?".
That's the problem I have with it.
What other law is he going to think "so what?" about if he feels like it.
The problem is not with the the taps per se. It with this administration's emerging theory of unlimited presidential power.
