Then why is June being circulated for this decision?
Tough cases often take a while and in June they finish up and announce all the unannounced decisions for the term. This case is complicated and could be one of the ones announced in June as the term concludes.
Still as I said, the court has some reasons not to delay this decision and to get it out as fast as they can. So they could announce at any time. They have had the briefs for some time. The arguments are over. If the Justices are firm in the opinions, then it is just a matter of writing up the majority opinion and any dissents.
On the other side the left may accuse the court of rushing to judgement, if they don’t delay as long as possible. But the Justices probably understand the left will howl if the decision goes against the act regardless of when they announce their decision.
Maybe if the law is to be overturned the leftists on the court would want to delay the decision? But why? Will it help Obama to have this decision closer to the election? I think not.
