You can't tell what the Supreme Court is going to decide just by listening to the questions the justices ask and then convincing yourself that your own breathless interpretation of their attitude must indicate how they will cast their vote.

You can't do that even if you're a commentator whose head regularly appears magically in other people's Tee-Vee boxes. I've heard almost nothing all day but excited or gloomy attempts to do precisely that with regard to the rigorous and skeptical way of the SCOTUS while questioning the gub'mint and its state opponents on the health-insurance mandate. They're the nation's highest judges; they're SUPPOSED to ask tough questions, question their own assumptions, and all that sort of thing. Nobody really knows how the vote will go until it actually goes.
