Are you referring to the (1) Ravenel delay in indictmant or (2) that the US Attorney's office has been investigating the SC SC for obstruction of justice, abuse of process and other such "discretionary things" they have to power to do to the SC BAR. The US Attorney's office knows it. So who can make them move on it? Tantalizing teaser, Overly Optimistic USC lawyer.

I suppose a recent US Attorney General should have clued me in. I guess I have a lot of faith in prosecutors to ignore their political affiliations.

We as concerned citizens of this great state need to demand that the facts behind this controversy come to light. We are starting to look worse Lousiana! At least they have a #1 ranked football team and their new governor won his election by promising to fight corruption. A wise Cajun once said, “you gotta drain the swamp to see the alligators.”

The first rule of order in crisis management is to stop the bleeding. In this case, Toal is allowing her reputation and that of the entire South Carolina bar to hemorrhage uncontrollably as her silence becomes more deafening. Whatever confidence she has in the strength of her position on this matter has apparently not been conveyed to rest of the community and consequently allows the circumstantial evidence of impropriety to mount. While I readily admit to not being an expert in the cannons of judicial conduct, I can recognize no foreseeable harm or injury to befall any innocent party as a result of her presenting exculpatory evidence to end this controversy. Those persons who have direct contact and influence with Chief Justice Toal should urge her to speak publically and clear the air on this matter so that we can put it behind us. Chief Justice Toal should stand on high as a shining monument to the principles of equity and justice, yet it is becoming ever more apparent that she is merely an empress who has no clothes.

Chief Justice Toal is the one who actually selects the date for the swearing in. Does anyone really think that she had a very long standing obligation to make remarks at a ceremony celebrating an elderly female golfer from Myrtle Beach (or something like that) instead of attending the swearing in ceremony? Come on.
