There was a theory floating around on the SCOTUS watching websites last week that Scalia unintentionally telegraphed the decision in the Hobby Lobby case when released a statement disagreeing with the courts decision not to hear another religious freedom case next term. In his statement he said (paraphrasing) "It makes no sense not to hear (the new) case since the court has expanded religious freedom in the cases before us this term."

The theory was since the only religious freedom cases before the court this term was "Hobby Lobby" and the already decided case that expanded the right to prayer at public meetings, that Scalia would not not have said "case(S) that expand religious freedom" if Hobby Lobby hadn't already been decided on those grounds....
