I agree with your comments on Miller. A visit to Democrap web sites (KOS etc.) quickly demonstrate they hate Miller. And some journalism group just pulled back an award they had earlier voted to give to Miller for er...standing up for principle. Looks like she's down and out and not a friend on either the left or right. I hope the grand jury is extended beyond October and her ass rots in the slammer for years.

I hope the grand jury is extended beyond October and her ass rots in the slammer for years.

According to Congressman Billybob:

"CIVIL contempt, meaning refusal to answer the questions of the Grand Jury, ends when that jury's term ends. And that term was set when that jury was first empaneled. However, if a new Grand Jury is empaneled to continue the same investigation, the witness can be called again, and again imprisoned for failure to answer. This, however, is very unlikely."

"CRIMINAL contempt, which means failure to answer questions before a court, does not have such a time limit. Special Prosecutor Fitzgerald can pursue criminal contempt against Judith Miller. If he feels that she is in the middle of a criminal activity, and that he can prove it, this is the option he would follow, other than simply letting her walk out in October."
