There's always a chance that the draft opinion doesn't end up looking similar to the final opinion, NPR legal affairs correspondent Nina Totenberg told Morning Edition, noting that this has happened numerous times.
A majority of justices must "sign onto" the court's opinion before it can be delivered publicly, according to the U.S. Courts website.
"No opinion is considered the official opinion of the Court until it is delivered in open Court (or at least made available to the public)," it says.
