This morning, the United States Supreme Court struck down state bans on same-sex marriage, declaring them unconstitutional. This means that we now have marriage equality in all 50 states !!!
Coming the day after the court voted 6 to 3 to uphold the subsidies for health care plans obtained through the federal exchanges, this 5 to 4 (Kennedy joined the liberals) historic decision makes this one of the most most momentous weeks in SCOTUS history.

PS: Today, June 26, 2015 is exactly 12 years to the day since SCOTUS' Lawrence v. Texas decision struck down laws criminalizing same-sex behavior between consenting adults. That is astonishingly rapid change.
