Many people have said that D.C. vs. Heller will decided by amicus briefs, not oral arguements.
However, SCOTUS re-worded the questions put forth to them by D.C. and the lawyers for Heller. To this:
“The petition for a writ of certiorari is granted limited to the following question: Whether the following provisions, D.C. Code §§ 7-2502.02(a)(4), 22-4504(a), and 7-2507.02, violate the Second Amendment rights of individuals who are not affiliated with any state-regulated militia, but who wish to keep handguns and other firearms for private use in their homes?”
Since SCOTUS re-worded it, wouldn't that imply that they already have an idea on what there answer to "their" question will be?
