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.
Cbs, Inc. v. Davis, 510 U.S. 1315 (1994)
CBS, Inc. v. Davis No. 020994 Decided February 9, 1994 510 U.S. 1315
ON APPLICATION FOR STAY
Syllabus
A South Dakota Circuit Court injunction prohibiting CBS from airing videotape footage taken at a South Dakota meatpacking company is stayed. The decision below conflicts with this Court’s decisions on prior restraint in the First Amendment context. See, e.g., Organization for Better Austin v. Keefe, 402 U.S. 415, 419; Nebraska Press Assn. v. Stuart, 427 U.S. 539, 562. There is a reasonable probability that the case would warrant certiorari, and the broadcast’s indefinite delay will cause irreparable harm to the news media that is intolerable under the First Amendment. The Amendment requires that the company remedy any harms it might suffer as a result of the broadcast through a damages proceeding, rather than through suppression of protected speech.
