Much less coverage of this one, of course, but following the SCOTUSBlog when they made the announcement, this one seemed to surprise the "experts" even more than the ACA decision.

“Justice Anthony Kennedy”
Hope he gets his. Along with Roberts, of course.

IOW, not granting special privileges, even unintentionally, is discrimination and punishable by our lords and masters.

We’re deep into the twilight zone. The WH and USSC are way outside of constitutional limitations and the congress is impotent. Extremely dangerous combination.

Not discriminating is discrimination.

Roberts. One of the legacies of George W. Bush (for whom I voted - twice) along with the TSA and DHS....great job W. Enjoy your retirement.
I won’t be voting for your Mexican brother, though. EVER.

So if I put a "for sale" sign on my house and it has a disparate impact on the illiterate, I can be sued?
Illiteracy may not be a protected category under the law, but it correlates with protected categories.

Make no mistake, these two decisions mark the end of the republic. June 25, 2015. A day that will live in infamy.
The decisions are not the point. The implications of how such ridiculous decisions could be made are the point. We’ve lost. Utterly.
We are, indeed, living in interesting times. And they are getting exponentially more interesting. And I stand more than ever behind my tag line.

Housing discrimination? I call baloney on that. What the law does is establish a preferred class of citizen. The government is playing favorites.
The way to get on the preferred list is to underperform.

Since you and your kind like sovoal experiments I would like for you to participate in one. Build a very nice upscale apartment that is ifenticql in two different locations. One you will rent out only to white people. The other to only minorities. Now visit the apartments 5 years from now and report on their condition and the number of repairs and maintenance that was required by both. Run the numbers and get back to me. Oh is that racist? I didn’t mean it to be. I just wanted you to see the truth and why apartment complexes screen their applicants.

Agreed. If the choice is between dragging myself off the couch to go vote for Jeb, or a Storage Wars Marathon on cable, I've already decided what I will do.

If won’t go to the ghetto the government will bring the ghetto to you.
