Yes, the wacky inkers of the elite Ashcroft Redaction Force are http://www.thememoryhole.org/feds/justice_redaction.htm to save you, the American public, from those masters of subversion: the U.S. Supreme Court.

I suppose JohnDubYa could have been responding to your post. From my experience with him, I thought it more likely that either never having heard of the site, or aware of their slant, he was dismissing the Memory Hole as a source.Dissident Dan said:That word did not appear in the link. I just made it up to describe the situation.
The Justice Department is responsible for enforcing federal laws and representing the United States in legal matters. This includes reviewing and censoring Supreme Court decisions to ensure they are in line with the government's policies and interests.
The Justice Department may censor a Supreme Court decision if it contains sensitive or classified information that could potentially harm national security or compromise ongoing investigations. They may also censor decisions to protect the privacy of individuals involved in the case.
The Justice Department typically uses a three-part test to determine if a Supreme Court decision should be censored. This includes assessing the potential harm to national security, the public interest in the information, and the availability of alternative sources for the information.
Yes, the censorship of a Supreme Court decision can be challenged. The affected parties can file a petition to the Supreme Court to review the censorship decision, and the Court may choose to overturn or modify the decision. Additionally, the public can file a Freedom of Information Act request to access the censored portions of the decision.
Censorship of Supreme Court decisions by the Justice Department is relatively rare. It typically only occurs in cases where there are significant national security concerns or sensitive information that could potentially harm individuals involved in the case. Most Supreme Court decisions are released in their entirety without any censorship.
