Wow! Big confrontation looming here. Thoughts?

[Kobyashi1942]

Hodges, a Democrat who is up for re-election in the fall, has been threatening for weeks to use state troopers to block roads into the Savananna River Site and has vowed to lie down in the road if necessary to stop the plutonium-carrying trucks.

I dispise the Democrats with a passion, but one must admire their ability to use the full wieght and power of whatever governmental office they hold to advance their agenda. If only GWB had the political fire in the belly that Clinton had. Clinton did more to advance the Democratic agenda with the Republicans controlling both houses of congress than Bush did with in 2001 with his party in power!

Gov. Jim Hodges ordered state troopers and other authorities.....

Other authorities?
Why not the Nat'l Guard? Isn't the Guard suppose to be the organized militia for the people?

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

Fine, drop it on the S.C. doorstep at their port of enty and let them deal with it.

We'll probably find out if they have the nuts to shoot it out with federal marshalls.

This is a total joke. All the Feds have to do is impound South Carolina's Medicaid matching funds. Within twenty four hours the governor would cave.

...has vowed to lie down in the road if necessary to stop the plutonium-carrying trucks.

What a complete and total idiot. He's also compromising security by doing this.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

Every State has an obligation to its citizens to stand against Federal imperialism / un-Constitutional acts. Good for S.C.!

[BikerTrash]

Hmmmmmm...Democrat lying in road in front of speeding truck...what to do, what to do?

The answer keeps coming up, "HAMMERDOWN!"

[l8pilot]

Too bad that the sum'bitch worked to remove the Confederate flag from atop the state house. Even though we've had Plutonium in the state for the last 50 years, I would've supported him, just to thumb our noses at the Federal government.

Lets say for instance they bring a truck into South Carolina ,what is the Highway Patrol going to do with it? Confiscate it.Well then they will have to store it so where will it go.This is just another ploy to make some lawyers rich before Jim leaves office.I have not in my lifetime seen so many lawyers since the Clintons moved into DC.We all now need one to cross the street and even then without a little political support all you do is waste your money but the lawyer still gets paid.Lawyers are putting the squeeze on this country and we are letting it get out of hand.You know I was always taught that court was about justice but as Shakespeare once said "All the world is a stage" or maybe that was Bill Clinton I really dont know for sure.But I do know for sure court is nowhere close to being about justice,it is about manipulating the system and lying.We need to revamp the court system in this country and go to looking for the truth not making up lies to defend people.The American way of life should not be dictated through the courts advesarily because we are too diverse.That is why we are having so many problems today.America was founded on Christian Principles and after she was established those coming in have changed this principles.America is no longer America we are hundreds of nationalities that are splintering and that will lead to our downfall. Must I remind you "A house divided cannot stand" and we are a long way from being a nation not divided and the more lawyers that become involved the more divided we become.

Withhold funding to SC until they elect someone who realizes that we all have to do our part.

[lavaroise]

If there is one thing the feds have reasonable responsibility over, it is nukes. This governor is going way too far.

[Mamzelle]

Why should South Carolina be forced to warehouse more than 1/50th of the federal radiocative waste? Split it into fifty even pieces, and let every state have a share in the headache.

[cyberaxe]

.....Our Guv is a Gubber.....

.....I live here (SC).....

.....We call the Aiken site,.....

.....the "Bomb Plant".....

.....for all I know.....

.....this is where allot of the stuff came from in the first place.....

.....Hodges is a little Clinton.....

.....says one thing.....

.....does just the opposite.....

[snopercod]

Good. That'll keep the SC Troopers tied up so I won't have to worry about getting a speeding ticket on I-95 or I-26.

[HardStarboard]

Thoughts - why yes: why don't we give the plutonium to Jose Padilla so the #&%&(%@#$^ Democrats will believe that he was seriously intending to make a dirty bomb and that Bush and Ashcroft aren't using his arrest for political purposes.

South Carolina should secede from the Union.
