Question Presented (from Petition)

1. Whether an electronic communications service provider can be compelled to produce potentially privileged user communications before adjudication of the provider's First Amendment challenge to a nondisclosure order that prohibits it from notifying the user and before the user had notice and an opportunity to assert privilege, including executive privilege.

2. Whether the First Amendment permits gagging a provider in a highly public investigation where the government does not (a) demonstrate that disclosure would jeopardize the investigation's integrity; or (b) disprove the workability of a less-restrictive alternative, such as disclosure to a representative designated by a former President to assert executive privilege on his behalf.
