When the supposedly "conservative" South Carolina legislature elected ultra-liberal Don Beatty to the state Supreme Court, the citizens' group
Conservatives in Action, uh, went into action.
As with all effort for citizen education, participation, and redress, this outraged
State columnist Cindi Scoppe. She simply couldn't stand to see that voters with South Carolina values would come together to
express their opposition to the election of a judge who legislates his very different values from the bench.
So Cindi wrote this column.Notice that the column focuses not at all on the claim that this justice is radically left-wing, unresponsive to the people, and not terribly qualified—Scoppe ignores what is the
substance of the objection—and focuses instead on the idea that perhaps the opposition tp Beatty includes some people Cindi doesn't like. Boo-hoo.
In the meantime, in today's
State we are given an awful object lesson in what happens when liberal judges ascend to the bench:
public school child molesters are given ridiculously short sentences.
Some day soon, you may be able to get more years for
cockfighting.
