I don’t know who to write about this problem. Something needs to be done about Mother that give birth to babies with drugs in their system. Now all the birth parent has to do is go through a 3 month program. Once through the program they get their children back. To me this is saying fine use your drugs, them go through the program and get your child back. Its to late for Little Gracie. My Daughter, Crystal, and her Husband, Chris, took in a 4 month old little girl named Gracie. Her Mother was Chris’s sister. They kept Gracie for 16 months, and she was returned to this stranger on Firday. If you can use drugs while pregnant them why not make them legal? I can’t stand drugs, alcohol and anything that can destroy a family. I’m raising 2 of my Grandson’s because my son died in Aug 2004, age 36, he abused drugs and alcohol. I just thank God he change his life before he died. The Mother of his children sold drugs to children, she had children sell drugs for her. The parents wouldn’t let their children testify in court. This woman was caught 3 different times, facing 12 to 15 years, walks awy with 1 year probation. She gave me custody of my Grandchildren because she wanted my car. So who do I need to write to get a law passed to protect the innocent children of drug user’s. Knowing its ok because you just go through a program. Am I the only person that feels this way? Please put a stop to drugs. Please help me! I know its to late for some children but lets not let it cost other children the ability to learn because their parent used drugs.

Thank you,
Elaine Cash

JLG, a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, drink deeply from the fountain or not at all.

I think yours may seriously take the cake for stupidest comment I have read this year so far. What is your take on the constitutional situation of lawyers like the A.G. of the state and others who actually work for…gasp…the executive branch? Huge quandry, I know.

Adminstrative law judges who are judicial officers but work for the Excutive?

The Lt. Gov. who presides over and can even vote in the legislature, but is an executive officer?

Don’t even get me started on the budget and control board.

My main point is to think before you type, or at the very least consider what you do type.

Thank you for your report! SC Citizens have been blind sided by these three characters. But, you left out the biggest Rat in the pack: Glenn McConnell. He and Rankin have been working together to hand over South Carolina assets to ATT for years. Look at the nearly $100 million VoIP Telecom contract just awarded in an open bid to another SC Telecom company. It saves SC millions a year. ATT was not even near the top low bidders. So, ATT through McConnell’s Rat Pack, fired the State CIO who awarded the contract, and is in the process of recalling the Bid. And, that’s just one of the rip-offs these characters have pulled in the past 12 months. Get a rope!

JLG-

Does these mean that insurance agents, doctors, teachers, welders, biologists, economists, engineers…the list continues can’t serve, since those governing agencies (i.e. Dept of Insurance, Labor Licensing & Reg, Dept of Health…you get my drift) all fall under the Executive Branch?

I guess retirees and the unemployed shall only be allowed to be candidates and members of our General Assembly under your interpetation of the law? Also, since you seem so versed on constitutional law, I would suggest immediately filing suit for the good of the state to ask our high court to rule immediately on this overlooked bit of information for the past 114 years…you would be skirting your civic duties if not.

Comment to truth seeker. Read the state constitution where it clearly spells out that no one in any of the three branches of government can execute the duties or have any involvement in either of the other two branhes of government. Lawyers are officers of the judiciary branch of government. The means the state constitution bars them by law from being in the legislative branch of government.

Truth seeker,
It does not take a law school graduate to recognize apparent corruption. Fits, do any of these guys have opposition in June? I’d like to write a check.
Thanks

Your intelligence astounds me. A lawsuit and being tried for a crime are completely different things.
