Supreme Court Refuses to Order Cheney to Release Energy Papers: "The Supreme Court handed a major political victory to the Bush administration today, ruling 7 to 2 that Vice President Dick Cheney is not obligated, at least for now, to release secret details of his energy task force.
The majority of the justices agreed with the administration's arguments that private deliberations among a president, vice president and their close advisers are indeed entitled to special treatment - arising from the constitutional principle known as executive privilege - although they said the administration must still prove the specifics of its case in the lower courts."
