What do you mean Jason? If the Supreme Court rejected the appeal, doesnt the ruling of the Appellate Court stand? Personally, I agree with the Journalists, without the guarantee of anonymity, there would be no sources for information in many cases. My Grandmother was a reporter for the Oakland Tribune (the first woman reporter!) and she was ADAMANT about the reporter's right to protect their sources....
by the way, here is a great
site for people interested in Journalism and First Amendment rights....(note: they havent updated to reflect the current Supreme Court decision, but there is good stuff on there regarding the topic) by the way, I ordered a copy of the journalist's handbook it is an amazingly informative tool. I also took a class in journalism law and have another journalist's pocket reference book as well.....
