If I’m not mistaken (others please correct me), was not the vote by the Court already taken on Friday, March 30?
Or, have they yet to vote?
If the vote hasn’t yet been taken, this was aimed at Anthony Kennedy.

If the vote already -has- been taken, perhaps Obama knows something we don’t about the outcome. Who might have leaked the decision? If that decision has been made, does Obama really think he can cow them?
