The Supreme Court deadlocked at 4-4, thus letting stand the decision of a lower appellate court to block Obama's unconstitutional overreach of executive power to shield over 5 million illegals from deportation.

It's a reaffirmation that the president is not a despot, and cannot simply circumvent congress/laws he does not like by use of executive order/prosecutorial discretion. Bad president. No dictatorship. Not yours.
The fact that 4 judges (and you can probably guess which 4) wanted to rule in favor of the Obama powergrab is a sad and urgent reminder of how politicized the supreme court is, and how our unelected robed masters are more concerned with advancing their political ideologies than upholding the law.[DOUBLEPOST=1466714558,1466714100][/DOUBLEPOST]The Baltimore police officer who drove the van in which Freddie Gray died has been found not guilty of all charges.

This is the third police officer (out of 6 arrested) to be acquitted of all counts, and the one with the most dire charges of any of the six. This verdict throws stark light on the overprosecutorial zeal of Marilyn Mosby, and the willingness of her and her prosecutors to swing for the fences despite not having evidence to back their narratives. It makes it far more likely that the remaining 3 officers will similarly be acquitted as well.
Hopefully this will start to undo some of the damage in the form of the "Ferguson effect."
