Most of the mainstream mockery since the decision was announced has focused on CNN reporting that the individual mandate was struck down, because apparently they couldn't be bothered to turn to the second page of the syllabus before they squatted down and squeezed out their article. (Fox fucked it up too, but Fox is just such low-hanging fruit, it takes all the sport out of it.)

For an interesting take on this, including the opinion that the mistake was easy to make, see this interview with Amy Howe of SCOTUSblog.com, which also covers the stolen valor decision. Maybe she was being gracious about her "competition," but I think she was being sincere.
