The removal of journalists from a public courtroom for refusing unconstitutional reporting restrictions is deeply troubling. Courts cannot condition access on limiting what the press may publish. The First Amendment forbids prior restraint.

The Nevada Press Association condemns the removal of journalists from a public courtroom after they refused to accept unconstitutional restrictions on what they may report. Judges do not have authority to dictate press coverage. Prior restraint violates the First Amendment.

Reporter @Jess_HillYeah of the @ReviewJournal covers @MelanieSchieble's bill on "[c]losing the courtroom door" and "[h]ow [SB432] could impact access to legal hearings[.]" Also mentioned are remarks by @NevadaOpenGov's @VegasMaggieEsq, Marshal @WillickLawGroup, @ACLUNV's Tia Smith, and @OurNevadaJudges. reviewjournal.com/news/polit…

The courts and the First Amendment make clear that court records and proceedings are presumptively open to the public. The #nvleg can't legislate around that reality and they should not want to. Yet #Sb432 is still moving through the legislature.

⚠️ Storage facilities can seize & auction your stuff without court approval.
AB 137 says they don’t need to notify the public anymore either.
Say NO to silent auctions.
#StopAB137 #nvleg #NevadaPress
🔒 AB 137 would end newspaper notices before storage unit auctions—cutting off renters’ last chance to save their property. Transparency matters. Say NO to secrecy. #nvleg #AB137 #PublicNotice #ConsumerProtection
