TIME Supreme Court Decisions: Decisions That Changed America

In late June 2015, the U.S. Supreme Court issued two decisions that will change the face of tomorrow's America, declaring same-sex marriage would now be legal in all 50 states and ensuring that President Barack Obama's controversial health-care program, Obamacare, would continue.

Now TIME explores the power, the politics, the people and the processes of the least-examined area of our government, digging deep into the personalities of today's Roberts Court and exploring the most influential decisions in the history of the court.
