Argues

The Constitution “explicitly” gives the president the discretion to obtain opinions and information of a confidential nature from subordinates and outside advisers without having to face the prospect of public disclosure, a Bush administration attorney argued before the Supreme Court Tuesday.

The American Gas Association Tuesday filed with FERC to intervene in its heated liquefied natural gas (LNG) jurisdictional case, noting that its 192-member local utility companies deliver more than 80% of the nation’s natural gas supplies distributed directly to end-users.
