It's been a long time since we've had any good news to report. Luckily, the Supreme Court last week handed down a grand total of three positive decisions.
1. In Burwell v. King, the Court upheld, yet again, the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act. This means that the law is here to stay. GOPers can still run against the law, though, without worrying about having to replace it.
2. In Obergefell v. Hodges the Court ruled that marriage is a right that belongs to all people, not just those who want to lead an "Ozzie and Harriet" lifestyle.
3. In Texas Department of Housing v. Inclusive Communities, the Court stopped an attempt by the state of Texas to do an end run around the Fair Housing Act.
Lately, there has been much as to whether President Obama is "really" Proressive. The fact that he appointed Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan to the Supreme Court is significant in itself.
