It is suspected that Kennedy will be joining in the writing of the majority decision. If that is the case, it is likely that the decision was 6-3 in favor of upholding the law. If not, then it was 5-4 to strike it down.

...then it means they're waiting until Thursday so they can beat feet out of town to avoid the crazed hordes of Republicant assholes who will cry, "traitors! Off with their heads!"

Fuck a bunch of Republicant fucksticks.

Yep, I hope it will be a surprise decision and that Nancy Pelosi was right all along.

I predict, to uphold:

Roberts, Kennedy, Ginsburg, Breyer, Sotomayor, Kagan, (Alito?)

To strike:

Scalia, Thomas

Alito is the real question, but his partial dissent in the Arizona Immigration law case leads me to believe he's in the mood to grant more power to the Federal government. Best guess, then, 7-2 to uphold.
