I'll make my predictions...

Hobby Lobby loses. While the court has affirmed the freedom of speech for companies, it will use the example of the establishment clause to state that companies can't impose their views on employees as well, and uphold the contraceptive mandate.

I think there will be a tiny win, that religious affiliated corporations must have an out, as employees are quite aware that they are working for Catholic Charities or whatever, and their viewpoints. They MIGHT go as far as tossing out the mandate until an exemption is in place.

The second opinion will be yet another blow for unions, as Alito tears them to pieces once again.

OTOH - can employees impose their views [ie: contraception coverage] on their employers?
