More on this later - some students are writing on these topics, so heads up if you are.

King v. Burwell: The court ruled 6-3 that federal subsidies to state insurance exchanges were legal under the wording of the ACA.

Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs v. Inclusive Communities Project:  The court ruled 5-4 that a non-profit group could sue the state of Texas under Fair Housing Act for disparate treatment.
