I was traveling yesterday (and I’m continuing the trip today), so I didn’t have the time to put something of my own together on this, but I highly recommend this thread<\/a> from Adam Steinbaugh (FIRE). The opening paragraph:<\/p>\n Wow: The City of Clarksdale, Mississippi, got a court order yesterday directing a newspaper to delete an editorial criticizing city officials — without a hearing. Here’s the TRO issuing the prior restraint: …<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n I will add one possibly clarifying detail: Many courts have in recent decades allowed anti-libel injunctions<\/a> requiring the removal of material\u00a0after it has been found to be libelous after trial\u00a0<\/em>(or after a default judgment), and barring the reposting of the specific statements found to be libelous. But the First Amendment continues to forbid pre-trial injunctions<\/a>, and especially “ex parte” ones such as this one<\/a>, which were issued without even a preliminary adversary hearing. And that’s true even if the order is issued after the article is published; under modern First Amendment law<\/a>, a “prior restraint” is one issued\u00a0prior to a trial on the merits<\/em>, rather than prior to publication:<\/p>\n The special vice of a prior restraint is that communication will be suppressed … before an adequate determination that it is unprotected by the First Amendment.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n That, though, is just one of the many apparent defects of this injunction; read Steinbaugh’s thread for much more.<\/p>\n The post Court Orders Newspaper to Remove Editorial Critical of City of Clarksdale (Miss.)
