My understanding it doesnt affect the original legislation so they can still do it without penalty or consequences. The Legislature scratches Jeans back and the court scratches theirs.

Thanks Will,
I’ve been wondering for several years what part of unconstitutional do these lawmakers not understand.
As you say, this is not the first year that we’ve experienced “unconstitutional bobtailing” ie: “the Christmas tree bill (Life Sciences) from several years back nor is it the first year that this General Assembly has passed a budget with an “unconstitutional budget deficit”. They just don’t get it. I agree with the earlier post that “we the people” have not retired enough of these in cumbent rascals!! We must begin recruiting candidates now for 2010. Thanks Will for your excellent reporting!!

South Carolians, You made a couple of good moves in this last election of State and House Representatives but you failed on most points and sent the same good old boys back. You should have sent the Governor some help to reorganize and get rid of these unconstitutional bob tails. So don’t expect the leopard will change its spots. You have to eliminate the leopard (figuratively speaking as I am an animal lover)
Where are the John C. Calhouns who stood up for this and State’s Rights and lawful government and adhereance to just and good laws. Without the honorable Mr. Calhoun, the Morrill Act (or this type of tarriff) would have been put on the South much sooner and Secession would have come earlier.
