While everyone is celebrating over Obergefell:
Held: The Fourteenth Amendment requires a State to license a marriage between two people of the same sex and to recognize a marriage between two people of the same sex when their marriage was lawfully licensed and performed out-of-State
one should also not forget Texas Department of Housing:
Held: Disparate-impact claims are cognizable under the Fair Housing Act.
and King:
Held: Section 36B’s tax credits are available to individuals in States that have a Federal Exchange.
It's been a banner week for the court, approving gay marriage, upholding the Fair Housing Act, and continuing the ACA. It's also been a terrible week for Scalia. That's okay too. If you drew a Venn Diagram of Major Court Opinions I Agree With, and Major Court Opinions Scalia Dissents On you would only have to draw one circle.
