The Supreme Court rejected the appeals of Judith Miller and Matthew Cooper.
The Supreme Court rejected appeals yesterday from two journalists who have refused to testify before a grand jury about the leak of an undercover CIA officer's identity.
The ruling effectively ends the free-speech appeal by Time magazine's Matthew Cooper and the New York Times' Judith Miller, who both face up to 18 months in jail for refusing to reveal sources as part of an investigation into who divulged the name of CIA officer Valerie Plame.
This has been a marvelously entertaining case, beginnning with hubby Joe's eight day visit to Niger which he claimed was proof conclusive that Iraq could not possibly have been seeking uranium anywhere on the continent of Africa. It got even more fun to watch the loony left jump up and down and scream that Karl Rove should be dragged off to jail for the crime of revealing Val's identity, then suddenly do a complete about face when they couldn't pin it on Rove, and instead two reporters were threatened with jail if they didn't say what they knew. "Crime? What crime? There's no crime here."
It's not over yet. There's still time for the loony left to do another pirouette. Once Miller and Cooper do their time, lefties will be free to go apoplectic again about the "crime" of outing Val. Stay tuned.
