Justice Bleakley of the New York Supreme Court expressed a common sense view that freedom of the press is a constitutional guaranty akin to life and liberty and should not be restrained in advance. He warned that sealing or censoring coverage would substitute court judgment for the press and noted the remedy is libel action, not prior restraint. The article also comments on gasoline tax cuts in New York and critiques third party politics.
