On Wednesday, January 15, 2008, ...right after Sandford's "State of the State" address at the Statehouse, SCETV interviewed Senator Jake Knotts and Knotts said in an interview that Governor Mark Sanford had interfered with the judiciary in Beaufort County. In reference to the matter he used the term "ex parte". Knotts went on to say that Sanford was also named as a defendant in a federal lawsuit yesterday. "Ex parte" is a Latin legal term meaning "from (by or for) one party". "Ex parte" is also used more loosely to refer to improper unilateral contacts with a court, arbitrator or represented party without notice to the other party or counsel for that party. BTW, I vote vote Sen. Jake Knotts for Governor, GO MR. KNOTTS!!!!! Binden Plantation, Sen. Jake Knotts, and Gov. Mark Sanford

COLUMBIA, SC (WIS) - A former governor’s son is suing the current governor after he was fired.

Carroll Campbell, III has filed an appeal asking the state to reinstate him as a member of the State Ports Authority.

Last week Governor Mark Sanford issued an executive order removing the former governor’s son from that authority.

Sanford claims Campbell’s consulting firm presents the “appearance of a conflict of interest.”

Tuesday afternoon Campbell told WIS News 10 he’s not sure what the governor is talking about.

The governor wouldn’t talk on camera about pending litigation.

His spokesperson emailed a statement, saying, “if it is illegal for a lobbyist to serve on this board, why is it okay for someone who runs a lobbying firm to serve? It’s not a violation of the letter of the law, but it certainly goes against the spirit of the law.

They rated Huckabee as the best. Yet another reason why I think we're not worthy of deserving this madman and genius in our highest office. And yet another reason why the analysis above is so sparklingly brilliant. SC is a microcosm of the national problem: Big Government Republicans. I've heard all the rumors that Sanford was maneuvering to be Rudy's or Romney's VP nominee. What a pipedream. Beasley and Campbell had similar fantasies. I even know about Sanford's staffers who went to work for Rudy. But throughout the entire prez primary, Sanford has given only a few speeches, and in those speeches he has only mentioned one candidate for prez. He says they were very close friends in Congress, and that votes were often 433 to 2. They were the 2, and they sat in the back and talked smack together about all the other Congresshogs. Anybody who really knows the Gov., knows that he 'tends' toward libertarian. So, my point? Sure, I know the redheaded stepchild running fo prez has problems in trying to relate, but why wouldn't an old friend like Sanford pipe up and help him out on some of that image problem? I know, I know. Everybody's afraid the all-powerful, all-seeing, and ever-present GOP god in New York City. Time magazine rated Sanford as the worst governor in America.

Campbell floated a proposal asking fellow board members, including Davis, to prevent the SPA from completely privatizing new terminals planned for North Charleston and in Jasper County. Campbell reasoning was that if the SPA turned over its terminals to a private firm, nonunion SPA employees would be replaced by an all-union labor force, which in turn could raise operating costs, lead to work stoppages and make the port less competitive. But the state should never relinquish control of its marine terminals to private companies because they would become "100 percent unionized," Campbell said.
