It's not true. They're talking about a law from 1958 (under a conservative president, like almost all of them until 1981) that makes it illegal to criticise a court decision in order to undermine the legitimacy of justice.

It's okay to criticise a court decision if you just don't agree with it, but not to say "see this judgments? it shows all judges are corrupted".



So who decides if criticism undermines the legitimacy of justice? The same judges that are being criticized?
