Please
answer the following questions
1. Do you
agree that after-the-fact punishment should be preferred to prior restraints?
Injunctions don’t land anyone in jail (unless they are violated) –is that a
point in their favor?
2. What
burden should the government have to meet to sustain a prior restraint?
3. Should
prior restraints be sustained against speech that threatens specific
individuals such as a story headlined, “Witnesses in the Federal Witness
Protection Program–Where Are They Now?”?
4. What, if
any, public policy goals are served by publication of information concerning
the building of atomic weapons?
