ANY gag order is unconstitutional, why hasn’t this garbage been overturned by the Supreme Court?

I think this might be the perfect storm for the courts to take up gag orders and overturn them.

You said, "Unconstitutional". I agree.

Maybe some FR lawyer can help me with this.

No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service in time of war or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation. (the Fifth Amendment)

Does "liberty" only mean "not incarcerated"? When I think of "liberty" - I think of First Amendment rights. (religion, speech, the press, peaceably assembly, petition the redress of grievances)
