There is a subset of the Comment-ariat who make their living watching the courts – and specifically the Supreme Court.
And humans being human – this subset likes to hazard guesses as to how the Big Nine (for now, anyway) will rule.
Largely predicated upon the behavior of the Big Nine during hearings. What questions were asked, how they were asked, etc.
My joke for many years was the evenly divided Court would rule to the Left or Right depending upon what Justice Anthony Kennedy – aka Flipper – had for breakfast that day. This was also true – to a lesser extent – with Justice Sandra Day O’Connor.
