1. To this list I would add Kelo vs City of New London

Which effectively grants government the ability to seize private property via eminent domain with tax revenue and economic stimulus as justification.

2. I wouldn't call Gideon v. Wainright obscure

That is a pretty famous decision.

Another horrible decision that is obscure but has a big impact on workers & consumers is AT&T v. Concepcion. It basically allows companies to make you sign away your right to sue in a take it or leave it form contract and makes state courts almost powerless to protect their citizens against this.
