I keep seeing this posted but I don’t understand why people think it’s decided already after such a short oral argument

I'm with you. I'm sure this is being based on the line of questioning by each Justice, but 1) A potential 5-4 vote only requires one of the 5 in the majority to flip, and 2) Some of us strongly suspect that Justice Roberts is compromised. If our speculation is correct, who's to say that Roberts' handlers won't call in their chips on this vote?

After all, this case certainly has the feel of potentially being very impactful.
