Listing to the arguments it sounded like a 6-3 in favor of Mississippi. Roberts seemed to want to find a more narrow ruling than the other Justices. I see him assigning the opinion to himself or to a justice he has convinced to write a narrower opinion. He might fail to keep a majority behind his opinion and I could see him writing a sole concurrence in a 5-1-3 case or this case turning into a messy plurality opinion. Hard to see a majority invalidating Mississippi's law

For the people who are closer court-watchers than I am: When can we expect a ruling on this case? Is there any sort of expectation beyond "before July"?

The big controversial decisions are generally some of the last opinions of the term issued. So I would guess June.
