By getting the shield ruling up front, the entire case can be appealed over and over again, all the way up. It's a perfect care for the Supreme Court as well, as it slices an issue which is fast becoming a real problem: Who is and who is not a "journalist"?
No matter the outcome, this one could take a decade or more to play out.
