Supreme Court closes door on reporters found in contempt
The Supreme Court declined to intervene in the contempt case of Judith Miller of The New York Times and Matthew Cooper of Time magazine over disclosing confidential sources in the CIA Valerie Plame leak probe. Each faces up to 18 months in jail as the court left the matter to stand. The decision highlights the clash between press privilege and grand jury demands while Time plans further legal action on Cooper’s behalf.

Supreme Court rules against Tennessee death row inmate
The Supreme Court ruled that a lower court abused its discretion by reopening Gregory Thompson's case, denying him a second chance and upholding Tennessee's right to execute. Thompson killed Brenda Lane in 1985 after abducting her from a Wal-Mart lot, then confessed. The decision cites penalties expended by Tennessee and notes prior appeals had failed, with Kennedy writing the majority opinion.
