I pray they lose.

Why do you think they ran to darth-vader-ginsburg?

[Jeff Chandler]

It doesn't matter. Liberal leakers of national security secrets are practically immune from serious consequenses.

[Donna Lee Nardo]

I do also.

Once upon a time, I respected Judith Miller. In the years leading to 911, that is. I thought she placed common decency and love of country over her career. I was wrong.

[Stultis]

B-b-but I thought The NY Times was all about finding, exposing and even convicting leakers? At all costs! Didn't they editorialize quite fervently and frequently on this point just a year or two ago. Something about "Plame" as I recall. [snicker]

"wants Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg to block temporarily the government from going through the records "

Gee....what a surprise they want a former ACLU Lawyer (Ginsberg) to handle the petition for an injunction....

[RedRover]

Bump.

[upchuck]

FWIW, rest of the story:

The government, which is conducting a leak investigation to try to find out the reporters' sources, says those phone calls tipped off the charities of planned government raids. A federal judge who ruled in the newspaper's favor said there is no evidence in the record suggesting the reporters even knew of the government's plans to raid either charity.

In a separate matter, Miller spent 85 days in jail for defying court orders that she testify in the investigation into who in the Bush administration leaked the identity of covert CIA officer Valerie Plame.

We are in a battle against two forces that want to destroy America --- Islamofascists and the ACLU (along with all of their leftist pals in the media and Congress).

The Times wants Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg

Out of curiosity, are they justice shopping, or is there some jurisdictional reason why Ginsburg would get this case?

If they want her to handle the case, some one will have to wake her up.
