Partisan gerrymandering, gay rights, free speech, religion and immigration are all on the docket… after the court takes three months off.

The US Supreme Court Rules in Favor of Same-Sex Marriage The US Supreme Court made history today in a 5-to-4 ruling that the Constitution grants all Americans equal rights to marry.
