Wednesday June 26th is scheduled to be the last day of the term for the Supreme Court. This is from the official site of the court.

The last two major cases for which the court has yet to issue decisions this term are: United States v. Windsor (Constitutionality of the Defense of Marriage Act) and Hollingsworth v. Perry (California's Proposition 8 definition of marriage and the Equal Protection Clause).
Having two cases which deal with same sex marriage in somewhat different ways adds to the complexity of the possible decisions. Of course it is possible that the Supremes will just kick the can down the road without making a definitive ruling.
By far the best place to monitor the decisions as they are being released is SCOTUSblog. They do superb work covering the Supreme Court.
They start live blogging around 9:00 AM EDT/1300 GMT. Check it out!

Of course some of the technical legal language can be baffling, but the reporters at SCOTUSblog do a good job of translating it into plain English as quickly as possible.
