Finally, a voice of reason echoes out the Supreme Court.
There is no Constitutional right to protect leakers or any other source for a journalist's story. They have no such protection as they have always claimed...........
The only reason Lee wasn't convicted was because the government would have had to allow testimony on classified documents and programs in open court.
The Chinese must be laughing their a$$es off about this. If you're caught spying in China, you are executed or tortured to death. In the US, not only do you get away clean, you get to sue the people who leaked information about you... because your "right to privacy" trumps national security.
What law is it that states that Reporters do NOT have to turn over sources in criminal matters?
Uh hua..... Thought so.
The Press should get no more free passes. If their sources are NOT willing to say they are a source, then they should be shutting the heck up, and the reporters should NOT be telling stories they can not prove OR back up. That should be the start and the end of it. Hopefully this will change some things for the future!
"Justice Stephen Breyer did not participate."

Wuss.
This is ridiculous! Why... this would mean that forged documents and secret sources of damning stories against republicans won't be allowed anymore. /Sarc off
