That is precisely the compromise struck a few years ago.
I have to assume any compromise would be voted upon and made into law in order to enforce it.
Was it made into law? if so, it's not quite that simple to stir it up.
If not, then there really was never a compromise in that any agreement had no way of being enforced.

Voted by the legislature or ordered by the governor; it would depend on the specifics of the state constitution. I don't know SC law in that much detail.

Oh, sure it is. "Made into law" does not end the argument. If you will, allow me to offer some word pairs; Scott/Sanford. Plessy/Ferguson. Brown/Board. Lemon.Kurtzman. Roe/Wade.

Not only is it fairly easy to fight the law, but for Americans, it's habitual. It;s part of our national DNA. Fighting the law is how we came to exist, and fighting unjust laws is how we survive, And thrive.
