They explained there is a possible chance for judge Roberts to make the ultimate decision. That he can do that if he chose to. That would be the proper thing to do sit in precedent for the future. The Supreme Court truly needs to be so SERIOUS play making this decision! It's really sad that they took so long to address this and may push it back down to a lower court. Yes, another delay.
