Hyde, an escapee from a mental hospital for the criminally insane, kidnapped Vic, a prominent citizen of Gotham. In a message to the Gotham police, Hyde warned that he would kill Vic if (a) Hyde's identity as the kidnapper was divulged to the public or (b) The Press, Gotham's leading local newspaper, failed to publish prominently and in its entirety Hyde's political Manifesto," an incoherent essay, within 48 hours. Hyde's message was somehow leaked to a reporter of The Press at police headquarters.

Asserting that journalistic integrity was at stake and that the cost would be exorbitant, The Press rejected an urgent request from the Gotham police chief for compliance with Hyde's demands. Vic's family immediately filed an injunctive action in state court against The Press, obtaining an ex parte temporary injunction prohibiting The Press from publishing Hyde's identity as the kidnapper and mandating it to publish Hyde's full "Manifesto" in a main edition of The Press within 48 hours. Publishing the "Manifesto" in accordance with the temporary injunction will cost The Press $175,000 in lost advertising revenue and overtime wages.

The Press timely moved to dissolve the temporary injunction on the grounds that it violates rights guaranteed by the First Amendment and by the "Taking Clause" of the Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

May The Press ignore the temporary injunction without incurring liability for contempt?
