I don't think Bush wants this battle going on at the same time he nominates a Supreme Court Justice, but Lawrence O'Donnell's naming names:

"What we're going to go to now in the next stage, when Matt Cooper's e-mails, within Time Magazine, are handed over to the grand jury, the ultimate revelation, probably within the week of who his source is.

"And I know I'm going to get pulled into the grand jury for saying this but the source of...for Matt Cooper was Karl Rove, and that will be revealed in this document dump that Time magazine's going to do with the grand jury."

Other panelists then joined in discussing whether, if true, this would suggest a perjury rap for Rove, if he told the grand jury he did not leak to Cooper.

All this would serve to reinforce how petty and political the Bush White House really is, not an image you want portrayed as you fight for a partisan judge.
