...but their outcome, and the Opinions and Dissents, won't be released until June 2012.
As the article points out, even this vote isn't necessarily 100% binding. Justices have been known to change their vote after the "formal" votes (such as the one today), though that is rare. And in very isolated instances, such a change of vote, even has changed the outcome of a case.
To no one's surprise, the example given of a Justice changing his vote later, is Anthony Kennedy.
But in all likelihood, after today it's all over but the writing... and the liberals screaming conspiracy, bribery, heartlessness, and all the usual reaction they present when the Constitution is properly upheld.
Justices meet Friday to vote on ObamaCare but opinion not expected until June

WASHINGTON – While the rest of us have to wait until June, the justices of the Supreme Court will know the likely outcome of the historic health care case by the time they go home this weekend.
After months of anticipation, thousands of pages of briefs and more than six hours of arguments, the justices will vote on the fate of President Barack Obama's health care overhaul in under an hour Friday morning. They will meet in a wood-paneled conference room on the court's main floor. No one else will be present.

It's a first vote, S.O.P.
The opinions will not be written until the briefs are read, and there are thousands of pages.
That initial decision may be altered as drafts of majority and dissenting opinions are written, circulated and rewritten, often many times. It might even be reversed during the lengthy writing process if one or more justices switch sides.
I was lurking on a liberal political chat forum a few nights ago and it was amazing the amount of lies, slander, and vitriolic hatred for the Supreme Court being pushed by what the average person would easily determine to be "the bottom of the barrel of liberal lunatics."
I even stepped forward and urged those liberals to do Barack Obama a favor by at least trying to be an informed voter for the 2012 election.
You know it was bad when I was saying something in support of the President.
