Comcast asserts copyright over its court filing, is attempting to shut down news site that reproduced it

So, quick question. I get that court filings are public documents. Also, White v. West Publishing seems to indicate that the court agrees that the court documents are covered under “fair use”, although given that we only have a ruling and no opinion yet, I guess it’s possible something else was at play. But my real question is: Does this mean I have free rein to take legal opinions and set them to music?
