The Supreme Court saves Obamacare—again. The case boiled down to whether the Supreme Court should consider lawmaker’s intent in the face of what Chief Justice John Roberts called “inartful drafting.” Associate Justice Antonin Scalia colorfully argued against that perspective, but six of his eight colleagues disagreed with him. President Obama took a victory lap, proclaiming the law “settled.” But someone forgot to tell Republicans, who put out a series of biting statements pledging to continue to fight for repeal. The high court will tackle same-sex marriage next, ruling today or Monday on the landmark case.

Meanwhile, Martin O’Malley is worried about Bernie Sanders, and Donald Trump is suing Univision after the network pulled out of broadcasting the ‘Miss Universe’ pageant following the reality-television-star-turned-presidential-candidate’s rhetoric on illegal immigration.
