A secret docketing system hiding some sensitive Miami federal court cases from public view has been exposed and is being challenged in two higher courts, including the U.S. Supreme Court.

"We don't have secret justice in this country," said Lucy Dalglish, executive director of The Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press. The Washington-based journalists watchdog group is asking the appellate courts to open up two Miami federal cases it says were litigated in secret.

I'm sorry if this has been posted brfore; I searched and then I decided to post it. This site is too much trouble to post anything anymore.

Why don't we just admit we're licked and go home?

I knew how to spell "before" before I tried posting this.

I feel your pain...I've been reluctant to post articles because I can't reliably figure out if something has already been posted. Whenever I do a search, it never seems to find something which later indeed turns out to have already been posted.

That's why I never post articles. Maybe it's because I'm no good at entering search terms though, not the fault of the system.

In the present minstance, the previous article which this one duplicates was undoubtedly submitted while the data for this thread was being transcribed.

There's not much that OP could have done about that.

It is a good topic, but now I'm afraid the Admin Moderator is going to have to do a little housekeeping.
