Case Law
Prior restraints [of free speech] carry a heavy presumption of unconstitutionality. Bantam Books, Inc. v. Sullivan,
372 U.S. 58, 70, 83 S. Ct. 631, 9 L. Ed. 2d 584 (1963). In Near v. Minnesota ex rel. Olson, 283 U.S. 697,
51 S. Ct. 625, 75 L. Ed. 1357 (1931) the United States Supreme Court declared that prior restraints are
permissible only in exceptional cases such as war, obscenity, and "incitements to acts of violence and the overthrow by force of orderly government." 283 U.S. at 716
