When an individual or organisation that is allowed to use their judgement to make a decision - because there is no fixed rule about what they should do - expresses an opinion on one side or the other before the decision is made. There cannot be a blanket rule about something that applies to everyone. If someone has 'fettered their discretion', they have decided the outcome before considering all the facts of the case.
