This is clearly the "correct, on the law" outcome, as it only took the Supremes 16 elapsed days in the Nixon-era Pentagon Papers case to strike the prior restraint laid down by a trial court judge, there.
We are well past that now, in New York's trial courts (which ironically are called "Supreme" courts, even though they are in fact inferior) -- and I think the local Westchester County judge is well aware that this particular prior restraint cannot stand. [My prior backgrounder on it all, is here.]
Here is that new language, inserted into his order, today, by Cahill Gordon lawyers, appearing for the Times:
. . .Nothing contained herein shall prohibit The New York Times from interviewing and lawfully obtaining information and material from any Project Veritas attorney or from any Project Veritas officer or from any person designated by Project Veritas as a press representative and from publishing any such information and material so obtained.
Further, nothing contained herein shall prohibit The New York Times from publishing Project Veritas’s attorney-client privileged information or material if such information or material becomes publicly available independent of any action by The New York Times. . . .
Now you know. Project "Veritas" is anything but.
