    These things are usually telegraphed beforehand so they can gauge public reaction and adjust if necessary.

    Rulings aren’t adjusted based on public sentiment; That’s not how the court functions. You can generally speculate with reasonable accuracy on each judges position even prior to arguments for a case and arguments give a clearer public affirmation as to their thoughts on the manner.

    I don’t think it’s too early to be mad about the courts potentially legalizing presidential murder.

    Presidents have been authorizing legalized murder since the country’s inception. All this ruling will do is create a legally distinct definition between state actions and personal actions. This article is just ragebait.
