PLAMEGATE UPDATE….TalkLeft passes along the news that on Monday the Supreme Court will decide whether or not to hear the appeals of Judith Miller and Matthew Cooper in the Valerie Plame case. My uninformed guess: they’ll decline. Miller and Cooper will then either cooperate or be packed off to jail.

UPDATE: Yep, they declined. Miller and Cooper now face up to 18 months in prison unless they cooperate.
