So on the majority’s rationale, the Court is 5-4 in the union dues case, divided on ideological lines. But in the result it is 6-3.

To answer a recurring question, the Court is scheduled to release opinions again on Monday. Depending on how many opinions it releases today, we expect at least one additional decision day to be added next week, but we don’t know for sure whether that will happen or when it will be. When we find out, we will pass that info on, either via the Live Blog or an editor’s note on the blog.

Would not be surprised if the numbers on ObamaCare fall along the same lines.
