The First Amendment prohibits prior restraint of the press. But what if national security is at risk? Olivia discussed prior restraint in this context and discussed the case of US V.New York Times wherein the US Supreme Court refused Nixon's request to prohibit the Times from publishing the Pentagon Papers. We examined various scenarios where failure to prohibit the press from publishing classified information could place citizens at risk and the tenuous balance that exists between informing the citizenry and upholding the First Amendment. In that regard, we discussed Julian Assange and Wikileaks and examined both sides of the debate as to whether Assange is a patriot or a traitor. Examining a similar difficult balance, we then studied the right of the press to cover a sensational trial when the coverage compromises a criminal defendant 's right to to fair trial.I discussed the Sam Sheppard case and F. Lee Bailey's role in overturning a conviction due to the circus atmosphere created by the media. We then discussed jury sequestration and whether in the age of smart phones sequestration remains effective . Tomorrow ,we will be having a test on the federal court system.
