Basic Facts
Daniel Ellsberg leaked the pentagon paper to the NY times. The papers included a history of what went wrong in the Vietnam war, so the NY Times wanted to publish them. President Nixon found out and directed his attorney general to order the Times to stop, claiming the publications would cause "irreparable injury to the defense interests of the United States." The Times refused and the U.S. government sued the newspaper for violating the Espionage Act.
Clauses
Freedom of the press clause and the First Amendment
Outcome/ Significance
The Supreme Court ruled, 6−3, for the NY Times. They ruled that the government did not overcome heavy presumption against prior restraint. This case is significant as the ruling made it possible for The New York Times and The Washington Post newspapers to publish the then-classified Pentagon Papers without risk of government censorship or punishment. This made it possible for newspapers to publish information that did not directly harm the US troops.
