Involvement With The CIA Leak Grand Jury Investigation
Tate, acting as Lewis Libby's attorney, has spoken publicly about the Libby's involvement in the CIA leak grand jury investigation. In particular, Tate discussed Libby's connection to the New York Times journalist Judith Miller. Miller spent 85 days in jail for refusing to disclose the identity of her source, an unidentified government official. Despite speculation to the contrary, Tate repeatedly denied that Libby was the source that Miller was protecting. Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald, investigating the CIA leak, wrote to Tate on September 12, 2005 to clarify that communication between Libby and Miller would not be obstruction of justice. Fitzgerald knew that Libby was the government official that Miller refused to discuss. Tate continues to deny that Libby was Miller's protected source, instead, insisting that a written waiver was provided a year ago. Miller was eventually released from jail, after Libby contacted Miller by phone with Tate and Miller's attorney's listening.

“It may be tempting to focus on the fact that, even among those who support equality, men’s involvement as fathers remains a far distance from what most women want and most children need. Yet it is also important to acknowledge how far and how fast many men have moved towards a pattern that not long ago virtually all men considered anathema.”
—Katherine Gerson (20th century)
“And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”

“This we take it is the grand characteristic of our age. By our skill in Mechanism, it has come to pass, that in the management of external things we excel all other ages; while in whatever respects the pure moral nature, in true dignity of soul and character, we are perhaps inferior to most civilised ages.”
—Thomas Carlyle (1795–1881)
“[When asked: “If women voted, would they not have to sit on juries?”:] Many women would be glad of a chance to sit on anything. There are women who stand up and wash six days in the week at 75 cents a day who would like to take a vacation and sit on a jury at $1.50.”
—Anna Howard Shaw (1847–1919)
