I was just looking at the decision

http://www.sierraclub.org/environmentallaw/cheney_case/

and although I need a dictionary (mandamus?) hmm it looks as this is a
procederal ducking of the issue (?)

It does put the issue onto a back burner until after the election.
Was also interested to see that Scalia dissented in part. Reserving
judgement on whether he has been misjudged or is just smart :) I still
think he should have recused himself.

Much as I want to see Cheney taken down, the ruling was 7-2. It's not
like it was a very split vote that hinged on Scalia.
