During a hearing on Nov. 23, the trial court declined to lift the prior restraint against The New York Times while the court continues to deliberate. “It is deeply troubling that this court is leaving in place its unconstitutional prior restraint for at least another week,” Bruce Brown, executive director of the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press, said after the hearing. “Every day that a prior restraint — which is a restriction on publishing — is imposed is an ongoing injury. That’s why they are among the most grievous threats to the First Amendment.”
