SCOTUS involvement in PlameGate?

[skids]

Will PlameGate rulings reach SCOTUS? We already saw Miller appeal...

1. what constitutional issue would bring it to the supreme court?

Why should it even be appealed to the court? If Rove is convicted, he'll be sentenced under federal law. It would require a constitutional issue for SCOTUS to hear an appeal. What constitutional question do you imagine the appeal would be based on?

The court refused to hear the Miller-Cooper appeal. It seems likely that the question of journalistic privilege would make it to the court again in the future.
