Don’t quite understand your post. SCOTUSblog isn’t the media, and I already posted the complete decision straight off the SCOTUS website...

More than anything else it's because I hate PDF files. They are terribly inconvienient, especially when compared to plain HTML. Also, my links include not only the decision itself, but each concurrance. On another case earlier today, I posted the opinion, and dissents. I find having them all together useful to compare arguments.

Also, my comment about the media wasn’t really directed at you. It’s a more general comment, in that many people will read news reports, but not the decisions themselves, which are often quite at odds with what the media reports about them.

one of the interesting aspects of this decisions IMO, is that the headline (here and elsewhere) will read “Supreme Court allows monument”, when in fact the decision itself leaves it up to the city that was initially sued whether or not to allow the particular monument in question to be placed in the park.
