I would submit that the point is that a sitting President is commenting on a decision while the decision is pending, in a "they better not" way.
This is not as conservative politicians decrying past decisions, such as Roe v Wade, or liberals with Citizen's United, that they disagree with. This is about the sitting POTUS playing politics, lying, and basically besmirching, what is supposed to be a co-equal part of our checks and balances, while a decision is pending.
Its BS from the dictator wannabee.
So I'll put you on the list of people who expect a president to publicly say "Yeah, this major policy item of mine will probably be ruled unconstitutional."
Seriously, people. It's politics. In a major court case, everyone will publicly say that they expect to win. Even in a high-profile murder case with a hundred witnesses, the dude's lawyer is going to say on camera "My client is innocent, the jury will do the right thing, yadda yadda." But nobody accuses them of trying to influence the jury. Now, when a president of the opposing party says the same thing, on the other hand...
