5. Speculative nonsense

The Colorado ruling was supported by liberals on the court, and constitutionally, was the correct decision.

Alito may be dragging his feet on writing his opinion, whatever it is, and that is delaying publication of the court’s ruling, but surely Roberts has given a deadline of the end of the term for Alito to have his say.

All the rest is completely made up clickbait with no evidence to support it, just Stern’s imaginstion.
