Ilya Shapiro of the Cato Institute had originally predicted a 6-3 rule in favor of the challengers. However, after the arguments, he now says it’s anyone’s call.

“My only prediction is that it’s a complete toss-up,” he said in an interview. “Whichever side anyone thought had the edge before argument has to temper their expectations, because I would give each side an even 50-50 shot at this point.”

The Justices’ decision is expected in June.
