Good, that was an extremely dangerous ruling and needed to be overturned.

According to SCOTUSBlog, who is blogging via blackberry from the Court, the vote was 5-2-2. I don't know who is in the minority or what the -2-2 means. Apparently, Ginsburg was dissenting from the Bench.

Sounds more like they deferred it back down.

I have mixed emotions about this.

Why should republicans use the arguments Hillary used to hide her health care task force records?

[I have not followed the Cheney case so I realize this might not be a valid comparision.]

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court refused Thursday to order the Bush administration to make public secret details of Vice President Dick Cheney's energy task force (search), but kept the case alive by sending it back to a lower court.

Justices said 7-2 that a lower court should consider whether a federal open government law could be used to get documents of the task force.

The decision extends the legal fight over the information. Justices could have allowed a judge to immediately move ahead with ordering the release of the papers.

The issues in the case have been overshadowed by conflict-of-interest questions about one justice.
