@itstommaga @TheRickWilson The answer to your question is that there is no “top dog” in our Constitution. It sets forth three coequal branches - Executive, Legislative, and Judiciary. Every court ruling on a legal dispute is exercising its duty as part of separate but equal governance.

[David Condon @davidcondonsc]

@TakeWeightOffMD @AWeissmann_ @cmhughesmd SCOTUS took lid off w/Citizens United, equating outside spending w.protected “speech.” Many keen observers believe only way to rein that in is to amend the Constitution & expressly allow regulation of political contributions w/o violating 1st Amend.

@JudiGatson TY JG! I struggle if client makes poor choice. Not judging them. Upset w/myself for being frustrated. Remembered The Good Samaritan: no guarantee the beaten man recovered. Lesson is to love neighbors as ourselves NOT what happens as a result - the outcome is not in our control 🙏🏼

@hwinkler4real A really young Rance … 🙊

[David Condon @davidcondonsc]

@psychpictures @hwinkler4real “Innocent until…” is in criminal cases. This trial was civil defamation. Judge had no choice but to hold defendant (RG) liable, b/c he refused to answer routine discovery requests. (ie financials). Per SOP, this trial was always & only addressing question of damages.

@MiddleManEC @OccupyDemocrats Respectfully disagree. Elections = consequences. Exec - policy/nominations/foreign rltns. Legis - laws & give “advice/consent.” Sen T twisting rules to override Exec action. IF he has majority support, pass a law to prohibit the policy. THAT’s how true conservatives govern. IMHO

@lorieno @HoosierCole SC code Sect59-3-10(C) requires challenging qualifications (ie M.A.) within 30 days of “close of candidate filing.” Thus the qualification MUST be met as of filing, not Election Day or prior to taking office. Don’t know if suit was filed, but it seems the law is clear on that.

@RICHARDRCBMHIS @JoeNBC Mamma taught us that if we don’t have something nice to say, we shouldn’t say anything at all. Bless your heart…

@thomas_ley @TFrampton Sure - might enjoy reading about Briggs v Elliot (part of Brown). The “Summerton 100” & Judge Waring been called civil rights heroes. Respect to Rosa Parks & others, that desegregation lawsuit filed when Plessy’s separate-but-equal doctrine was the constitutional law of the land.

[David Condon @davidcondonsc]

@thomas_ley @TFrampton Just to note: Brown v Topeka Bd of Ed was unanimous. There is no “wing” in a 9-0 decision.

@suitedupwook @prestuvius @kylegriffin1 Acting backgrounds weren’t detrimental when Ronald Reagan, Clint Eastwood, & Charlson Heston gave voice to influencing politics and public debate. Whichever side Americans are on, important issues should be about the message, not the messenger. IMHO 🙏🏼

@Alex_W__91 @kylegriffin1 Evidently, the designer of that weapon had carefully researched the most efficient way to deliver devastating violence to soft targets in combat situations - https://t.co/r0eADN3uV3

[David Condon @davidcondonsc]

@booklady2002 @cyclebike100 @ZakKoeske Neither did Dick Riley, an exceptional champion of quality public education. Lack of qualifications can be important, but lack of substance is the REAL shortcoming in this age of personality politics - IMHO 🙏🏼

[David Condon @davidcondonsc]

@marcshipley @DCPandC Right…same as Terry Don Phillips was for renegotiating Bowen’s contract then firing him in the middle of the next season? Unless & until an AD has unfettered autonomy, while hold him (or her some day) accountable for decisions that go through the Board?

[David Condon @davidcondonsc]

@James16998028 @Angry_Staffer Respectfully agree w/Davey: Many said “not our problem” when Nazi’s invaded Poland in ‘39, Soviet Communists invaded Czech (‘59) Yugosl (‘68) & Afghanistan (‘79). We can’t be the world’s Cop alone but we also can’t abandon self-governing democracies in face of invading dictators.

[David Condon @davidcondonsc]

@mmcleod6 @MuellerSheWrote No substantive legal issues - fairly common procedural efforts to “delay and obfuscate” will run their course relatively rapidly.

[David Condon @davidcondonsc]

@nooneim10329513 @gary_kline @hugolowell Not in this instance, because McC holds a Senate seat, which is statewide. So no gerrymandering involved.

@Houstonflorist5 @EverFlossing @ericgarland Some people look good in orange. Jus’ sayin’ …
