"...... let's dump the stuff a few miles from your house in "the country's best interests."

My duty is not to lead the people for the general wellfare...Hodge's duty is.

If the courts ruled infavor of dumping it ON my house for the welfare of the majority I would be FORCED as an individual to accept it and move. Thats the way Democracy works.

But this Governor is placing his election wellbeing over his duty to the people as widely noted. Big difference!And thats what makes him so discpicable.

FYI - Federal Judge Cameron Currie is the one who ruled on this. She is the same judge that mandated the creation of an unconstitutional quota high school in Darlington County SC. She mandated 50-50 black and white about 5 years ago to settle an NAACP lawsuit. The new high school was forced on a county with already too many high schools and as a magnet school it has drained talent from the other high schools.
You are correct that we have to follow the rule of law but the Federal government has not followed the law in SC on the nuclear waste issue. YOu need to learn the details of how this has been imposed on SC without precedent.

It's the way democracy (with a small D) works, but unfortunately its not how a federal republic was intended to work, which is what we are supposed to be.
