Excerpts from SC Supreme Court stimulus decision : Associated Press : Anderson Independent-Mail

COLUMBIA, S.C. — Excerpts from the South Carolina Supreme Court's opinion issued Thursday that orders Gov. Mark Sanford to request $700 million in federal stimulus money aimed primarily at struggling schools:
I can't believe that the court tells the governor how to run the state.

Now THIS is worth starting a thread over! The insanity has to stop. The only way it's going to happen is if WE THE PEOPLE make it stop.

Anyone?:mad:

Do you want the Supreme Court to make a decision that is not in line with the SC Constitution?? If you read the article it clearly delineates who can appropriate funds, and it is clear from what is described here that the Governor has on authority to do what he did.. if the people from SC do not like change the constitution.

Some people on this board need a civics lesson..

Quote:

"
THE ROLE OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY...

Under the constitution and laws of this State, the General Assembly is the sole entity with the power to appropriate funds, including federal funds. Therefore, the General Assembly has the authority to mandate that the Governor apply for federal funds which it has appropriated
. Because the General Assembly has overridden the Governor's vetoes of the provisions of the Budget concerning the SFS (State Fiscal Stabilization) funds, those provisions are now law and must be executed by the Governor. Accordingly, under South Carolina law, Governor Sanford is obligated to take the actions required to apply for and accept the SFS funds."

THE ROLE OF THE GOVERNOR

"The duty to execute the Budget, as properly enacted by the General Assembly, is a ministerial duty of the Governor. He has no discretion concerning the appropriation of funds. ... (T)he clear intent is the State of South Carolina desires the SFS funds, and Governor Sanford must ask for the funds."

"While we recognize and respect Governor Sanford's sincerely held beliefs concerning the ARRA (American Recovery and Reinvestment Act), those convictions do not alter the ministerial nature of the legal duty now before him."


Keep up the good work, even though you are falling far short of your goal of gazillion posts about Obama.. you only have had 50 since June 1... the Patsfanscom political forum Jihad continues..

In this case, the governor doesn't want to take obama money. Why does SC SC order him to do so? If they want the money that bad, why don't they ASK obama themselves?

Some people need to remember that people SELECT the governor to RUN the state business NOT the fcking judges.

Unless you want the judges to run the state business and justice system, please STEP UP and say so.

So your the one who started this activist judge BS.. you really do not know or understand basic civics, the decision was made in the context of the SC Constitution.. but then I my as well just spit in the wind, rather than trying to argue with you..

Pearls to swine..

By using your logic, should you ask the judges for their spending approval as well if they can tell the governor to take Obama money?

Who is running the state? Governor or SC? You are very confused. If you are not happy with the governor, you should impeach or recall him. If SC doesn't like what the governor does, can they OVERRULE every governor's decision? Please tell me when you allow the judges to run the court system and state business.

Please remind eveybody the reasons you select the judges and governor. Everybody has a job to do.

The problem with you is you act like you know 'everything' but you have no idea what the hell you are saying in the reality. I'm not that impressed.
