Well, yes, but HN often links to blog posts and news articles about a court opinion rather than the opinion itself.
A summary (that links to the opinion) tends to be more useful to non-specialists than a document beginning with: "United States of America v. In the Matter of the Application of the United States, No. 3:2015mc00021 - Document 1 (N.D. Ill. 2015)"

- dogma1138 11y agoWell if we are frank the post didn't really had an opinion (a constructed argument) or a valuable summary of the actual case. If this type of content would be posted by a "complete no-body" (as is not some one of note either in the HN community or in any other community) it would quite likely have gotten flagged for being used to generate views when one could link to the content directly. Also quite a few people stay away from Google services like Google+ or at least prefer not to use them, so for those people offering the link to the actual court ruling might be of service.
