General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present. The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.

Capital Cities Media, Inc. v. Toole No. A-1070 Decided July 13, 1983 463 U.S. 1303
ON APPLICATION FOR STAY
Syllabus
An application to stay respondent Pennsylvania trial court judge’s order is granted insofar as it prohibits publication of the names or addresses of jurors who served in a homicide trial. The order, which was entered after the jurors had been selected in open voir dire proceedings at which their names were not kept confidential, is not restricted to the time during which the trial was conducted, but on its face permanently prohibits publishing the jurors’ names or addresses. The jury ultimately returned a guilty verdict and was discharged. If the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, which denied an application for summary relief, were to sustain the order on its merits, four Justices of this Court would probably vote to grant review, and there would be a substantial prospect of reversal. However, the application is denied insofar as it seeks a stay of the order’s prohibition of the sketching, photographing, televising, or videotaping of any of the jurors "during their service in these proceedings." Since the jury has been discharged, this provision of the order can no longer have effect, and there is no prospect of immediate injury to applicants before they can seek appellate review of the order. The application is also denied without prejudice to its renewal insofar as it seeks a stay of another order of the trial judge restricting access to exhibits, since applicants have neither identified the exhibits to which they seek access nor indicated that they have sought an order from the trial judge permitting them access.
