Bush testifies.
I was presenting the law, not supporting it.
Oops.
That said, what is the First Amendment interest if the White House authorizes it (i.e., says the leaker should be outed)? Protection of moles and weasels in an administration?
Exactly.
While I'm fully in favor of the First Amendment, I don't believe it goes so far as to allow (or sanction) the disclosure of information that is not yours to disclose.
No, but that's not the case with the journalist forced under pain of perjury to testify. He's just repeating what someone told him.
Shall I post those compromising pics of you and Atticus with Club's pussy wife in the name of the first amendment?
If you've got 'em, post 'em.
