NBC Universal Inc. v Broker’s Choice of America (Tyrone Clark)

As a First Amendment advocate, I strongly believe that this is wrong. One cannot illegally obtain information and use it against them. Members of Brokers’ Choice of America have the right to practice their freedom of speak and say as they please to other members of their organization without having to deal with hidden cameras recording them, later taking their words and using them out of context. The information was not obtained in a legal manner and therefore it is not usable in a publication. There was no Promissory Estoppel and the members were not aware that there was a reporter in their presence. Their freedom of speech was not protected and the statements made in confidence should not be published for all of America to see. As a Justice I would have to vote for the Brokers and against Dateline.
