observations. If the decision is to allow him to continue on then I would expect that very unpopular decision to come next June. If the decision is to restrict him then I would hazard a guess they will issue it sooner to allow for time to "fade in the memory/be forgotten by the media" before the mid-terms. But it is really a coin flip. I think the SC MAGA justices see where their immunity decision is taking them and they realize that in the end they have given ultimate power to the Executive Branch to defy the Congress and the Courts.

In their country clubs, sitting in leather chairs, drinking the finest cognac and wines I'm sure that the idea of the "Unitary Executive" sounded like a good way not to have to deal with political opposition and find compromise. But seeing the real world effects of a cheap, gaudy con man grabbing US citizens off the street, openly extorting for his personal gain, manipulating markets for his personal gain, threatening with nuclear weapons etc. is all conduct beyond the cuteness they thought they were doing in their immunity decision. You see this in their questioning about whether Congress could ever get back something they delegate to the Executive. They know they can't get easily get back the immunity decision.
