For those who don’t know....

In 1997, Tim Scott supported having the Ten Commandments posted outside the county council chambers, saying it would remind members of the absolute rules they should follow.

The county council then unanimously approved the display and Scott personally nailed a King James version of the Commandments to the wall.

Shortly after, the ACLU and Americans United for Separation of Church and State sued. After an initial court ruling said the display was unconstitutional, the council settled to avoid accruing more legal fees.

Regarding the costs of the suit, Scott said, “Whatever it costs in the pursuit of this goal (of displaying the Commandments) is worth it”

Good stuff.

With Allen West out of Congress for now, it would be a good move for Tim Scott to have a higher profile, IMO.
