A question

It seems to me that Cheney's energy meetings lawsuit is sinking down the memory hole. The last I heard the undisclosed ogre was in comtempt of court on releasing this information. Has anyone got any updates on this?

1. I haven't heard anything much either

and I think when the main campaign gets underway, the Democrats should bring it up-bigtime. It will be especially interesting to those in areas hit by high energy prices and blackouts, which are the very places where there are a lot of votes.

The Dems have to be very aggressive in bringing out the truth about this Administration and its players. They don't need to try and 'win' the votes of Bush's core constituency-the right-wing relgious zealots who think Shrub is the Second Coming will vote for no one else, anyway.

Well

OK, the White House has recently asked the Supreme Court to shield itself from releasing the documents from the Energy Conference citing "Executive Privlage"

http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/afp/20031001/pl_afp/us_energy_justice_031001221154

This is because the Sierra Club and Judicial Watch, a conservative legal organization, has won a lawsuit forcing Cheney to release the documents from the conference.

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2003/08/26/politics/main570137.shtml

Before, the General Accouting Office was involved in the lawsuit, but dropped it because they couldn't win any court cases.

But Sierra Cluba and Judicial watch continued their assault.

Here is the Judicial Watch's case against the Vice-President's office.

Does that help?
