Doesn't matter. Time after time the courts have ruled the First Amendment trumps the Espionage Act of 1917. In fact, the only people to ever successfully be prosecuted for revealing or mishandling classified information are government employees who signed NDAs.

The Supreme Court neber said that.

Of course not. A journalist would have to be successfully prosecuted first before it would be appealed up to SCOTUS. And no such successful prosecution has taken place. They are always found not guilty. So nothing for SCOTUS to rule on.

Did the ruling say anything about the actual publication of classified documents? It doesn't.

For what? The media has no legal obligation to protect our classified information. They never signed a legally binding non-disclosure agreement.

It currently is not illegal for the media to publish classified information they receive.

Technically it could be deemed illegal under the espionage act. although no media person has successfully been prosecuted using this method.
Personally I think it should be illegal. Congress did introduce a bill in 2010 to amend the Espionage Act to explicitly make it illegal. The bill didn't get any action though but could be reintroduced.

Perhaps not. Using compartmentalized software development, for example, is actually a plus for security. If no single party can code or access the entire system (for modification) then the chances of sabotage from within are greatly reduced. The process for issuing a security clearance is identical for government employees and government contractors. I have done programming work on highly classified systems as a contractor and, in the most sensitive cases, it was on a six month only basis; get in, make the requested changes and then get out which greatly limits the possibility of doing anything outside the scope of your intended (authorized?) modifications to the code.

You know as well as I do that compartmentalization can be done within government agencies. But then we are not talking about code being released. The employee released documents. And those documents are very interesting. they beg the question on what else are we not being told?

You think the methods we use to secure our voting systems should be public?

I guess the depths of TDS depravation has no bottom.

I saw her mug shot today. She looks like she's had a rough day. I wonder if they are going to keep her in the spotlight as an example?

She has signs of Trump Derangement Syndrome.
