One of my state's ignorant congress critters

Nice to see a legislator with no understanding of checks and balances.

You mean besides checks from corporate supporters and campaign balance sheets . . .

Congress critters seem to be confused by nominees with higher ethics than themselves.

Um....


upon reflection, I've decided that is a stooooooopid post. Can't think of anyone with lower ethics than a congress critter, except maybe catholic priest used car salesmen that molest children and animals while robbing widows and snorting meth and smoking cigarettes.

But just BARELY.

Mazactly.

Speaking of lack of checks and balances, in SC, the state legislature appoints all the state supreme court justices, judges of the court of appeals, circuit court judges, family court judges, and administrative law judges. Only the lower court judges are selected by the governor or local governments, except probate judges, who are elected.

And our legislators aren't required to disclose their sources of income, so we don't know if they've got any vested interests in what they're voting on, but that's a different rant.
