Supreme Court Backs FTC and Liddy Disbarment
The Supreme Court upheld the FTC power to define unfair and deceptive trade practices. It also disbarred Watergate conspirator G Gordon Liddy from practicing before the Court. The decision rejected Shell Oil’s bid to recuse Justice Douglas over comments on energy policy, and declined to hear claims to purge FBI files from a 1969 antiwar protest. The case also involved octane labeling rules at gasoline pumps challenged by the National Petroleum Refiners Association.
