WRTL on the Way?

Look for complete coverage here if the opinion is released at approximately 10 am eastern today. If not today, it should be released later this week.
UPDATE: It appears WRTL has been decided. More to come.
SCOTUSBLOG reports: “Completing a day of 5-4 decisions, the Court issued its fifth ruling of the day, concluding that a Wisconsin abortion rights group had a First Amendment right to aid during election season campaign ads that named a candidate running for the Senate. Three of the five Justices in the majority urged the Court to overturn the part of a 2003 ruling that upheld the constitutionality of the federal law restricting such radio and TV ads close to elections. The Chief Justice’s main opinion, joined fully by Justice Alito, said the case did not provide an occasion to revisit that ruling. Justice Souter recited at length from the bench for the four dissenters — who were in the minority on each of the day’s rulings.”
FINAL UPDATE: The opinion is now posted here (all 93 pages of opinions). A new post will provide analysis once I’ve had a chance to read and study this a bit.
