Ferguson, Missouri, is a majority-black city governed and policed mostly by whites. The mayor is white. The police chief is white. The police force is 94 percent white. Only one of its six city council members is black. Ferguson, with a 67 percent black population, seem to defy electoral logic.

SCOTUS' Hobby Lobby decision hurt but there is a far more dangerous threat working its way through the courts that could kill most subsidies.
