U.S. Vice President Continues to Sit on Energy Documents
LCG, September 5, 2002-The U.S. Justice Department filed papers this week in response to a ruling which had ordered the release of documents stemming from the energy task force led by Vice President Dick Cheney, and asserted that the ruling is unconstitutional.The Justice Department papers said "Further responses would impose upon the Executive unconstitutional burdens," in reply to an order for evidence-gathering by U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan.Two organizations, Judicial Watch and the Sierra Club, have brought lawsuits against the Bush administration energy task force, which established new U.S. energy policy last year. The groups intend to determine what influence various industries had in the formation of that policy, and Cheney and the administration have refused to hand over related documents while other Federal agencies have coughed up thousands of pages of documents.In July, Judge Sullivan reprimanded Justice Department attorneys for being deliberately misleading:"the fact that the government has stubbornly refused to acknowledge the existing controlling law in at least two cases, does not strike this Court as a coincidence. One or two isolated mis-citations or misleading interpretations of precedent are forgivable mistakes of busy counsel, but a consistent pattern of misconstruing precedent presents a much more serious concern." The Bush administration refuses to yield documents that are connected to the Vice President, to two of President Bush's assistants, to the energy task force, and to the former executive director of the task force.Meanwhile, a House-Senate conference committee is currently discussing the energy plan, the end result of the task force's endeavors.
