THE SEAN HANNITY SHOW

SCOTUS Rules on ObamaCare The Supreme Court issued its decision today on the ObamaCare case King v. Burwell.  It represents a "win" for Obama and the Democrats, but a loss for those who are stuck with high costs and worse coverage thanks to ObamaCare. The issue at stake, in a nutshell, was whether or not ObamaCare subsidies could be issued by the federal government and not through the states.   The way that the law was written explicitly limited subsidies to those issued by the states, but apparently that wasn't enough to stop the justices from ruling 6-3 in upholding the federal subsidies. In other words, the actual words or text of a law mean little when there is a political agenda to uphold. On the bright-side, politically speaking, this means that Democrats fully own every terrible consequence ObamaCare will bring in the foreseeable future.   The American Flag Next? With the current debate over the Confederate flag well under way, is the American flag the next target?  The dialogue about the tragic shooting in Charleston shifted to a national debate over the Confederate flag.  Yesterday I told you about South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley's call to have the Confederate flag removed from the state grounds.   Walmart and other stores have decided to no longer sell merchandise featuring the Confederate flag.  That's ultimately their decision as a private company, but it should be noted that the Confederate flag isn't necessarily the only potentially offensive item sold by stores like Walmart.   For example, Washington Free Beacon points out that Walmart continues to sell the Iranian flag and the Cuban flag and poster art of Cuban dictator Fidel Castro.  I've also been saying this week that stores like Walmart also sell music with offensive language such as the N-word.  Where is their mindfulness and cultural sensitivity when it comes to these items?  Democrats and liberals certainly aren't letting this crisis go to waste. The debate then expanded into other symbols of the Confederacy such as statues on government property, such as Alexander Stephens, the Vice President of the Confederacy, which is one of Georgia's two statues in the U.S. Capitol. Some are discussing taking down the Jefferson Memorial in D.C. because Jefferson was a slave owner. There's even discussion over the movie "Gone with the Wind."  A piece in the New York Post reads : "What does it say about us as a nation if we continue to embrace a movie that, in the final analysis, stands for many of the same things as the Confederate flag that flutters so dramatically over the dead and wounded soldiers at the Atlanta train station just before the 'GWTW' intermission?" And now, the debate is even shifting to the American flag itself. Louis Farrakhan has apparently taken up the cause of putting down the American flag.  He recently told a church crowd in DC, "We need to put the American flag down. Because we've caught as much hell under that as the Confederate flag." Where does it end?
