It would be unconstitutional for the FEDERAL governmet to do it- but this is a STATE law isnt it?

Can a State write a law that goes against the first amendment to the US Constitution?

Is it one of the enumerated powers?

Fortunately, there are truckloads of precedent-setting case law that establishes First Amendment rights as sacrosanct from encroachment from any government entity.

That one matters to the press, you know.
