The U.S. Supreme Court, citing a need to protect presidential confidentiality, gave Vice President Dick Cheney a new chance to avoid turning over records from his energy task force.
The 7-2 decision returns the case to an appeals court to consider whether Cheney must give documents to advocacy groups that say the panel was influenced by corporations. While the justices didn't grant Cheney's request to bar all disclosure, they made it almost certain no documents will be released before the November presidential election.

WH pals and VP hunting buddies in the Supreme Court refused today to order the Bush misadministration to make public the secret details of Dick 'Chicanery' Cheney's energy task force, but kept the case alive by sending it back to a lower court. Now watch this drive.
