Kennedy spoke also. BTW, what I heard wasn't a statement from Alito, it was speaking to the lawyers, and happens to be the words you are posting here.Show us a link where it was a statement, or a video of his statement. I find it hard to believe they are making statements about anything today.

Are you serious? For somebody was so sure that the Court would decide something this week, you sure don't know much about the process. These oral arguments are the equivalent of public hearings in Congress. Justices can and do make statements and badger the lawyers on both sides. The Justices who participate often delight in making the lawyers squirm as much as possible and they also enjoy lecturing them and ridiculing their logic.

It is a mistake to draw any conclusions from any questions or statements made during these sessions. The cases are decided based on the written briefs filed with the Court, after the Justices lobby each other to support their respective positions. They will generally take a quick vote. If the vote is lop-sided, then they usually don't spend much time reaching a decision but in any case, they will not publish or communicate the decision until late in the current session.
