Susan Estrich: "Constitution Protects Reporters' Right to Publish Top Secret Info"

Fox News | 6/23/06

[pabianice]

Susan Estrich just summed-up the Left's attitude toward today's NY Times' publishing top secret info on the Justice Department's bank record monitoring of terrorists' financing:

'The US Constitution absolutely protects a reporter's and a paper's right to publish top secret military information.' Further: 'One of the reasons Bush is low in the polls is that the president has lost the respect of the press.'

This is the party that plans to retake Congress. Utterly clueless and angry enough to destroy us for spite.

Must be off her Meds again.

[Red Badger]

BULL!..........

[n-tres-ted]

And she is what passes for legal scholarship from the Leftist point of view?

[Wolverine]

I have lost respect for the press!

[atomicpossum]

'One of the reasons Bush is low in the polls is that the president has lost the respect of the press.'

I'd like her to tell us when he had it.

The press mobilized against George Bush at the same time that the rest of the Left did-- when he came out as a Christian in the 2000 campaign.

I watched this on Cavuto. These people are clueless. I'd suggest someone brings over one of those "old" sarin shells, you know, the ones that are harmless, and open one up in Susan's front room.

[Echo Talon]

just watched this... wow are the democrats out-of-touch...

[Mazda3Fan]

Ridiculous! I think we can all remember when Geraldo was giving out information during the first Gulf War.

[GrandEagle]

The Constitution prohibits the federal government from preventing me from expressing my political views peacefully in print or in speech. NOWHERE is treason protected, nowhere!

[N. Theknow]

Hello! Ish me Shushan. I'm drunk again.

[mass55th]

"Must be off her Meds again."

Did I hear her right? When one of the Conservatives mentioned "duty, honor, country," did Susan reply saying "duty, honor, culture"?

[TexasTransplant]

Susi while you are at the bar could you get me a Gin and Tonic?

TT

[xcamel]

Thorazine... every 2 hours.

[Quix]

The traitorous

Susan Pestrogen

farts again.

[kjo]

Always remember, she was Dukakis' campaign manager. BRWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH.

[Killborn]

Noob. :) I lost mine back in ought 3...

(Waiting for someone to trump me...)

[jw777]

Get a rope for Estrich. Find a nice Tree. Hang the traitor now.

[John Valentine]

'The US Constitution absolutely protects a reporter's and a paper's right to publish top secret military information.'

I can think of nothing that would renew my spirits more than a vigorous prosecution of "Punch" Sulzberger for treason. And such a prosecution would certainly put an end to such flatulent nonsense as this quote.

I fail to understand the reluctance to go forward I seem to detect on the part of our federal government.

Go after the leakers. No more secret source.
