Two More Big Wins from the Supreme Court

Unlike the two big ones from last week, today's decisions were not unanimous. But in a pair of 5-4 rulings the court limited the power of public sector unions to force non-members to pay union fees and also ruled in the much anticipated Hobby Lobby case that "closely held" private companies with a strong religious ethos cannot be compelled to pay for employee contraceptives.

Why focus on the 5-4 vote? The constitutionality of Obamacare was upheld two years ago by the same 5-4 margin, thanks to Justice
Chameleon (Roberts).
