How many people here would be able to fully digest a 113 page legal decision even if they did read it? There are some lawyers here. But most people are not. It is not reasonable to tell people there is a barrier to commenting unless they are fully educated in all details of the topic. It is probably better to see what people have to say, and point them to clarifying information if you see them speaking from incorrect information. You also always have the downvote option, and even the option to flag if comments are particularly problematic.
That being said, I find it particularly ironic that in the context of this specific court case, your suggested fix to the problem is to ban certain content.
