"The Court is expected to decide the case before recessing for the summer."

No ... the court has already decided the case. Legislatures cannot regulate speech because that violates the First Amendment of the United States Constitution - which says that no law ... NO FUCKING LAW ... can abridge the freedom of speech.

The court will ANNOUNCE its decision before recessing for the summer.
