Absent AJ Scalia, I think the liberal justices might want to try to rush some votes through for 4-4 "wins" in some cases, 5-3 in others, with Roberts having his ass blackmailed off, esp. in gun control and immigration cases.
It's up to Roberts now to say how things will go forward with the docket, and you can bet he got his midnight call from the Voice last night.
Doesn't the court have a case on marriage on the docket?
