I can access court decisions just fine and I'm not in the US, so no. It's not. The chances are not very high that you are well-versed in how all the other countries in the world work. Whenever you think something is unique, it is quite likely that you will be wrong.

>Whenever you think something is unique, it is quite likely that you will be wrong. Can you tell that to ask the Europeans that constantly cry "only in America" about every little thing?

A bit of a weird tangent? You can tell them yourself. You are free to reuse my sentence if it helps.

You seem so sure. But provide nothing.

I'll go first, and you can match me. Here are several hundred court case dockets over the last 1.5 years or so related to one man.[1] Please provide court dockets for some relative number from your country of choice. Not selected documents: ANY document must be accessible from ANY docket.

I'd say Brazil is your best bet, I'd go with that. We'll wait.

Alternatively, we can explore your excuses on why you cannot. That's also a fun part of this conversation, exploring various national indoctrination systems around their lack of access to their courts. They are usually very different from the United States'.

It's always weird to see people go from "it's not true" to "it's true and it's a good thing" and repeat the government line.
