Yeah, Lindsey, you tell’em, the 10th Amendment reserves power to the states not given to the feds or prohibited from the states by the Constitution. So according to Graham, the power of MAKING LAWS regarding the state’s budget by the STATE legislature rather than Gov. violates the 10th Amendment how…?

I forgot you have to read the 10th Amendment through politically convenient lenses to get the result you want. Thanks Senator!

The people of South Carolina WILL pay the money back whether out Marky Mark takes it or not. We are members of the United States of America. The burden for repayment will be shared.
So you move to Virginia… think you are gonna get a tax break because your Governor opted you out of the stimulus?
THINK AGAIN
Sanford is dead wrong on this one (too).

“In a rare moment of concern of the taxpayer, U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham has questioned whether or not the “Clyburn Amendment” is legal under the 10th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.”

From a South Carolina perspective, I don’t know why it’s considered “conservative” to reject the money. You do realize this is money that will be paid back (theoretically) by the ENTIRE United States, and not just the citizens of South Carolina? So to reject this money is to basically reject funds roughly 99% of which will be paid back by non-South Carolinians. While I would certainly agree the much of the federal spending is not conservative from a national perspective, unfortunately that bridge has been crossed and so it’s time for Sanford to actually think about conserving something for South Carolina (other than a footnote as the home state to a failed 2012 presidential nominee).

Doesn’t the Atty General have the duty to publish an opinion that is based on the law not political aspirations?

No matter the outcome his opinion must be based on precedent and published opinions or he can forget political goals.
