Court Declines Case of Reporters in Leak Case

Two reporters facing up to 18 months in jail for refusing to testify about their sources lost another round in the courts today. The reporters, Judith Miller of The New York Times and Matthew Cooper of Time magazine, now have only one appeal left, to the United States Supreme Court.

But it is hardly certain that the justices will agree to hear the case or that the reporters will remain free even while that court considers how to proceed.

OK... I confess to not understanding the legal rationale for sending these two to jail while Novak walks.
