That Supreme Court ruling..I'm afraid this is the beginning of the end when 6 Judges can make a decision based on politics versus upholding the spirit and letter of the Constitution. The sad thing is that this decision benefits Republican candidates in the next election cycle because Democrats & "mainscream media" cannot make this "the issue". Of course, Dems and " mainscream media" will campaign that the Republicans "wanted" to do this and only the Supreme Court decision stopped them.

You know.. in effect, the US Supreme Court has elevated the IRS, an entity CREATED by Congress rather than the Constitution, to have equal, maybe more, power than Congress. The IRS decided it could interpret a law Congress spelled out, and overrule the restrictions, and 6 members of the Supreme Court agreed with the IRS.

How do OObamaCRAP Subsidies help "hard working" American families? Seems to me that most of the subsidies are going to unemployed people and putting even more pressure on those "hard actually working" families.

---
You know..listening to Obamageddon speechify about the Supreme Court decision was discouraging. He basically avoided conversation/details involved about the actual issue being the words in his law that actually forbid subsidies in states that didn't offer "exchanges", and about the IRS overturning the law on its own.

---
One Obamageddon spinmeister said the Supreme Court ruled on what Congress "intended" the law to mean..Who knows what Congress meant..Even Pelosi voted on it without reading it first.

---
Wow..knowing Chief Justice John Roberts is younger than me is not very reassuring..He'll probably be on the bench when I die. Now, since he was appointed by George W. Bush, I do see an opportunity for Jeb Bush..if he'll promise to get Roberts to retire if he gets elected, I'll vote for Jeb..

I'm not a Confederate flag waver..but I do believe it should be allowed to be flown on historical sites, and I believe that people should not be able to use it in an abusive manner. That's the same way I feel about our American flag. too, but our Supreme Court says abusing it is allowable under our 1st Amendment. Now... I am offended by school systems that allow other countries' flags given equal or better treatment, and I am offended by the Washington State governor for ordering the Chinese flag to be flown next to and equally in height ( against our flag protocol) outside the Statehouse of his state. We are one country and we have one flag.

---

You know.. the flags of the Confederacy flew only 4 years, while the flag of the North flew over slavery from 1776 to December 6th 1865 when the 13th Amendment was ratified. It wasn't a Confederate flag that flew in Boston Harbor as slaves were unloaded ... it wasn't a Confederate flag flapping in the wind above Boston's slave auctions....it's not a Confederate flag that's flying over the White House or US Capitol Building while millions of people are enslaved under Democrat Party created entitlement programs..

Is anyone surprised at the black leaders being out in droves calling to remove every historical Civil War symbol/memorial of the South? Not me. .. when have you ever seen a parasite stop feeding once it's hunger has been sated?

I just looked on the Southern Poverty Center website.. the SPC esimates that there are between 5,000-8,000 members in the KKK split up between several "warring" groups. The SPC also estimates that the New Black Panther Party, another "hate group" has more than 10,000..

Side note on above info: "The Justice Department filed civil charges of voter intimidation in January 2009 under the Voting Rights Act (the Bush Administration, which filed the charges in its last hours, chose not to pursue a criminal case) against King Samir Shabazz, Jerry Jackson, the New Black Panther Party and Malik Zulu Shabazz. They won the case by default in April 2009 when the defendants did not appear in court. But DOJ officials under the Obama Administration decided to drop most of the charges, saying the evidence did not substantiate the allegations that votes were suppressed or that the party or its leader were culpable. They did, however, get an injunction against Samir Shabazz that forbade him to bring a weapon to any Philadelphia polling place until 2012. * In January 2010, Samir Shabazz was reinstalled as head of the newly reactivated Philadelphia chapter. On April 23, 2010, he wrote in a reference to the prosecutors who investigated the case against him, "You are nothing more than a modern day lynch mob." In May 2010, Assistant Attorney General Thomas Perez defended the Department of Justice's decision to drop the charges. He cited local officers' decision to allow Jackson to remain when they removed Samir Shabazz (suggesting that Jackson was not intimidating voters) and the fact that there were no similar incidents at other polling stations. These facts, Perez argued, exonerated Jackson, Malik Shabazz, and the NBPP from charges of voter intimidation. Nevertheless, a wide array of right-wing and conservative individuals and groups attacked the DOJ's decision as supposedly revealing the Obama Administration's refusal to pursue cases against black racists." -- Interesting.. the SPC considers the KKK and the NBPP "hate groups with the NBPP being considerably larger in number, and the Obamageddon Administration refuses to pursue cases against "black racists". Ironic... on this basis, the SPC says Obamageddon is a "racist".

Online story: "Jennicet Gutiérrez, an undocumented trans woman immigrant from Mexico, interrupted the president at the beginning of his address shouting for him to “release all LGBTQ immigrants from detention and stop all deportations” Obama fired back, to the the sound of applause from annoyed White House guests, and told her, “You’re in my house” and “Shame on you” before having her escorted out of the premises." -- Good grief.. a known transgendered illegal alien was, I assume, invited to the White House, and humiliated by Obamageddon.. where is the "line drawn in the sand" on any of the issues this encompasses?

GM is back? Hmmm ... 3 of the top six cars (including the worst two) that owners get rid of in the first year are GM vehicles.. the worst one is the Buick Regal and Chevy's Sonic and Cruze are numbers 6 and 2 on the list..

There's a movement to vandalize/destroy historical symbols and heritage in this country...isn't that was ISIS is doing also?

I.T.T ad claim .."financial help is available for those who qualify"... Hmmmm, wonder how many students graduate from high school not knowing what "qualify" means or entails?

WTVM9 story: "Both sides are claiming victory after a judge rules on the City of Columbus' motion to dismiss a claim filed by Muscogee County Marshal Greg Countryman and Municipal Court Clerk Vivian Bishop. * In the ruling released Wednesday, Superior Court Judge Hilton Fuller of DeKalb County said the mayor, city council, city attorney and city manager were all covered under "sovereign immunity" and could not be sued in their official capacities. * Fuller ruled that Columbus Mayor Teresa Tomlinson and several city leaders cannot be sued in their official capacities." -- Well.. what about us citizens! We're the ones who are/will be paying for this.. maybe one government group can protect another government group, but we citizens can "sue"... at the ballot box.. Let's take out Bishop (both of them while we're at it), Countryman, and any Councilors who support Mayot TomLYINGson on this issue.

A "definitely get's it" L-E "soundoff": " Mary Sanchez stokes racial flames by insisting the racist church killer in Charleston is representative of millions. “We” and a flag created him. Just like “we” killed the Kennedys, according to the Stones." -- I know it's against the principles of liberal journalists, but Ms Sanchez should do "some" research before making claims. I just looked on the Southern Poverty Center website.. the SPC estimates that there are between 5,000-8,000 members in the KKK split up between several "warring" groups. The SPC also estimates that the New Black Panther Party, another "hate group" has more than 10,000.. I'm not sure what pleases Ms Sanchez the most.. her undocumented fears, or her choice to remain ignorant?

From the L-E's "Today in history" feature: "In 1963, President John F. Kennedy visited West Berlin, where he delivered his famous speech expressing solidarity with the city’s residents, declaring: “Ich bin ein Berliner” (I am a Berliner). -- Hmmm.. and all Obamageddon's legacy will recall is the "Trayvon Martin could have been my son."

Soapbox moment: From the "lost in the moment of another issue so we didn't see this coming...again" department: "A sharply divided Supreme Court on Thursday preserved a key tool used for more than four decades to fight housing discrimination, handing a surprising victory to the Obama administration and civil rights activists. * The justices ruled 5-4 that federal housing law allows people to challenge lending rules, zoning laws and other housing practices that have a harmful impact on minority groups, even if there is no proof that companies or government agencies intended to discriminate." -- 

 " even if there is no proof that companies or government agencies intended to discriminate."? 

 ...You know.. the Democrats forced banks and mortgage companies to forego sound lending practices about having the ability to make good on loans, and it collapsed the banking and housing markets, and pretty well "tanked" our economy, and now the US Supreme Court has decided that a second round of foregoing sound business practices needs to be the law of the land. Do you think that the US Supreme Court doesn't understand that their lifetime jobs are only good if our current Constitution and the American people survive? Does the Supreme Court believe it will have equal standing within a rewritten constitution of a despot form of government? Heaven help us...
