....Courts: Possible, but somewhat less likely. Judges, especially FISA ones, would be very well versed in how to follow proper Whistleblower laws, and would be very unlikely to risk open criminal activity when there are legal alternatives.......

I think you need to get a bowl and some sugar handy because these words may have to be eaten.

I was convinced the leaker was in the Rockefeller office until yesterday when on a similar thread a eureka light turned on..... there was a federal judge involved in the process and he resigned..

U.S. District Judge Robertson only resigned from the FISA court, which was basically an extra duty to him. He's a die hard anti-Bush type. I doubt that it's him because, assuming we can believe what we read in the papers, only the FISA court Presiding Judge Kollar-Kotelly was briefed on the program. It sounds more like he was bent out of shape for being left out of the loop, and quit in protest. It's a symbolic move, to slap the Administration. It's not like resigning an extra duty (as opposed to your day job) has any other effect.
