The Obamacare upholding didn't surprise me that much - the attempt to derail a piece of federal legislation based on state arguments was pretty much going to force Roberts off the fence. The FHA one is less important nationally, but it is still a huge foot forward for the poor and disadvantaged in this country.

I think what did gratify people was the decision by the court to not only overturn the gay marriage of ban but essentially to nuke it from orbit. They knew what was going to happen when they let Kennedy write the opinion but I don't think the rest of us expected something like that.
