Contributing sentiments towards policy:

46% : Trump praised the ruling, calling for an end to the "Weaponization of our Justice System" in a post on Truth Social.
40% : Some in the legal community did rise to defend Cannon's ruling in the hours that followed, suggesting it could be upheld at the Supreme Court, which recently ruled that portions of the indictment against Trump in his federal election case will have to go based on the doctrine of presidential immunity from prosecution.

24% : "Cannon has previously been strongly rebuffed by Republican-appointed appellate judges in relation to Trump.
