I don't think that that's very true. Freedom of the press showed up in many of the Soviet constitutions.
Governments got around it by destroying the judicial branch. At least in the US, it's safe to say that that is not the case. Why would people care so much about the Supreme Court otherwise?

- ssmoot 11y agoIt's a long road to the Supreme Court. You can crush a lot of dissent and ruin a lot of lives on the way. And if they decide to hear your case, it's entirely possible that they won't even address the primary complaint, instead choosing to rule on some other factor.
