How do you know this?

(I believe it may be true, but I don't know it.)

I don't know this for a fact. Here is a link to why I believe it to be true. http://www.scotusblog.com/wp/new-statpa ... #more-7499

As far as why I believe the opinion has been written for weeks, I don't think the majority was on the fence on this issue. I believe they knew how they would decide before they heard oral arguments in the first place. Also, I am sure it takes some time to put together the opinion with the references, plus cross-checking it with the other justices. Getting it proofed, printed up, made ready for distribution, etc likely takes more than a few hours on the morning it will be released.

I honestly don't believe anybody not under a gag order knows anything for a fact. It's all speculation. Based upon the Brady's response to what was probably inside information, it seems as if it may be a good decision for the 2A.

I believe they have to issue it this session, but they have the option of extending the session by a day, days, or weeks, at their discretion. Most likely, the decision has been written for weeks and is going through proofs, analysis, and getting the final release ready. Hopefully, Scalia does write the opinion. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
