I might get a lot of skeptcal questions on oral argument and still win the case. I know that J.Kennedy is a proponent of the Socratic method because he used it on his studends. He may be sympathizing with anti-prohibition side or he may just be trying to draw out more information. It is hard to tell just from oral argument.
