       | Note that the summary is somewhat misleading. This is about the
       | _public perception of cases_ , not the likelihood that the SCOTUS
       | will reach a particular decision.
       | 
       | The study also tries to imply that SCOTUS cares about the public
       | perception of its decisions, and it probably does - but this
       | isn't something they prove. Instead, the study deals with the
       | sentiment across focus groups.
