Pardon me for using this board for other than what it's for but I am wondering what your opinion is on some of these recent decisions.

I myself don't understand the split decision if you will.

U.S. court rejects reporter appeals in leak probe
By James Vicini 2 hours, 42 minutes ago

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday rejected an appeal by two journalists who argued that they should not have to reveal their confidential sources to a grand jury investigating the leak by government officials of a covert CIA operative's name to the news media.

Without any comment or recorded dissent, the justices let stand a U.S. appeals court's ruling that New York Times correspondent Judith Miller and Time magazine reporter Matthew Cooper should be jailed and held in contempt for refusing to testify.

This one caught me by surprise in the fact that the libs on the court decided in favor of the city. One could almost say St Patrick's Cathedral in NYC is now available for development.
