WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Supreme Court (news - web sites) said on Monday it would hear Vice President Dick Cheney (news - web sites)'s case for keeping his energy task force papers secret.
The high court said Cheney's Justice Department (news - web sites) lawyers could present detailed arguments on why he should not have to comply with a judge's order to hand over details of White House contacts with the energy industry.
