Death throes of the media? Or just the Union?

First Hitler; Now Nixon. Now keeping state secrets is grounds for impeachment?

They're claiming that holding the press accountable for releasing national security secrets is a war on the First Amendment. Somehow, subpoenaing reporters is worse than spilling top secret classified military operations.

This could be the best reason not to elect more Democrats in Congress. They can't seem to focus on anything but getting even with the country for not letting Al Gore be president. Of course, the Republicans aren't exactly keeping their heads either.

I'm beginning to wonder if anybody in Washington can focus on finishing what we've started for more than 5 minutes at a time without spinning off into impeachment, Cindy Sheehan, or the Ports deal. I guess we can belt in for a nasty, angry 8 months.

But this is shaping up to be a legal battle that could be as disastrous for the Press as Watergate was for the Republicans. The media couldn't deliver the presidency to Kerry, but it can't seem to see what's happening. Who knows? Judy Miller might get the last laugh.
