That is a very good question - as I understand things
that vote - that you refer to - is merely a straw vote. Theoretically, the justices are not bound by
that vote at this time.
One must start somewhere to see where the group of justices stand on the case before them -
that vote is merely the beginning of negotiations for a variety of matters pertaining to this case.
What is most likely going behind the scenes is some horse trading for votes and what is and what is not to be included in the written decision itself.
Thus, you see the President lobbying in the press for his preference - subsequent to
that vote.
We may or may not receive the actual decision by June.
