Why do politicians waste our money and their time with this stuff?

Because it's short and to the point and it makes for a good line or two to add to a campaign mailer and it requires little to no effort to try and push through on the part of politicians.

It's also pretty stupid and putting aside Constitutional issues, South Carolina has got a lot worse things to deal with than profanity. I would be really pissed if I was a taxpayer there and something like this clogged up the courts even worse than they already are.

Plus, South Carolina has a lot of military bases, colleges, and more than their share of crummy sports teams. As a result, any kind of profanity ban will be worthless and will waste a lot of time on the part of the legal system.
