Question

Should the press be allowed to take a stand on judiciary system?

Answer 1

Of course. The real question is whether the Court should be allowed to take a stand on political issues.

HINT: The answer is no.

Answer 2

Freedom of the press means the freedom to criticize any aspect of the government, including the judiciary.  When judges make unpopular decisions, it is the right of the people to tell them so.

Answer 3

Yes,  the press has a right to take a stand on the judiciary system under the freedom of the press as defined in the U.S. Constitution.  Taking a stand also means that the facts should be presented as to why the comments are being made, not just an opinion.  Everyone has a right to their opinion even the press but that opinion must be one that is based on integrity principles.  

Any comments about the judiciary system in this country should be honest and not have an objective to make it an attack on those at the head of our government whether it be the President or the Governor.  The laws that are in place both at the federal level and the state level are set and those in charge cannot change the system.  The changes must be made within the legislative process.  Comments about the judiciary system should be addressing how the system creates issues as it is defined today.  The judiciary system does not make the laws, it only addresses suits brought in relation to specific laws in the system.  

Comments about the judiciary system should address the system not any specific individual.  If there are occurrences of bad decisions, and they will happen, then the process should be changed as applicable to decisions that are made.

Sometimes courts make decisions that do not fall within the laws as it was intended.  However, our judiciary system has a process to appeal decisions by courts all the way up to the Supreme Court of the United States.

Basically our judiciary system has a defined process and is better than other countries as I understand based on our U.S. Constitution.  There are always going to be issues created through decisions of the courts and the press and us as individuals have a right to comment on actions by the courts.  Comments however, should not be made where it could have an impact on future decisions regarding cases that are being appealed.  Comments should be general and not made in relation to specific cases currently within the judiciary system.

Answer 4

The press should never overtly criticize any entity or person, except in pieces clearly marked as editorial.

However, the press SHOULD present all the facts at their disposal, and if the facts about any entity or person are unflattering, so be it.

Answer 5

I do not completely understand your question. Are you asking if the press has a right to question our judiciary system as it exists now? Or are you asking if they have the right to question the system as it was originally intended within our constitution? As all informed Americans know, the two are worlds apart in their execution. Within the system as it exists now, we have District Judges writing laws in order to inflict their  own personal beliefs upon the populace. So if the press is asking, "where in the U.S. Constitution, does it give judges the right to pass laws?" Then I saw, more power to them!
