UPDATE (Jan. 20):  

Jamelle C. Sharpe’s analysis of the argument on SCOTUSBlog concluded that “based on the questioning, it seems like the government is fighting an uphill battle. A few openly shared their skepticism. Gorsuch and Kavanaugh appeared open to a resolution that would hand the government a defeat but give more explicit guidance to the lower courts. If so, that might be enough to cobble together a majority for Santos-Zacaria.”
