Issue Are the papers allowed to publish the Pentagon Papers with risk of government censorship? First Amendment- freedom of speech and press Rights of newspapers first amendments vs. Executive Branches responsibility to protect the nation

Decision Vote 6 for, 3 against “National security” too broad of an issue to legitimize prior restraint Publication doesn’t cause “inevitable, direct, or immediate event imperiling safety of forces”

Other Cases Spring 2000 Texas court ruled Associated Press couldn’t publish a article about a state- guaranteed loan to a Texas shrimp farm Lawyers referred to NY Times vs. U.S. Judge lifted the order First Amendment very important Preferred Position- approaches limiting 1st Amendment skeptically
