It's been a busy week in the world of the
Supreme Court
. Not only did
justices end the 96-year-old ban on minimum prices
, but they also
ruled against integration plans in Seattle, Washington, and Louisville, Kentucky
. The rulings—both of which were 5-4 decisions—are very much in line with the other major rulings of this court's first term, which culminates this week. As
The New Yorker

Jeffrey Toobin
points out, this series of 5-4 conservative decisions (in addition to the ruling about greenhouse gases being pollutants under the Clean Air Act, also 5-4)
will be the legacy this court leaves behind
. It's one that will be punctuated by Roberts's resonant yell to the president who appointed him: "As you wish!"

Brown v. Board of Education changed the South forever
