This is a response I got on another forum from a Sanford defender. Do you see why I'm not always optimistic about the future of the libertarian movement? Read on:
Eric,
Â
I wouldn't expect you liberal Democrats to like Mark Sanford but we are quite proud of the job he does.
Â
You are also ignorant of SC state law. In the event there had been an emergency in his absence, SC Sode of Laws of 1976 provides in Section 25-1-1840 that the authority to call out the National Guard passes automatically to the Adjutant General.
Â
We had a real problem in Southern states with the yankee dictatorship after the war. As a result, when white people were allowed to vote again in 1876, like most Southern states, we drafted a state constitution that gives very little real power to the Governor anyway - and; we like it that way and don't plan to change anything.
Â
Mark Sanford is a friend of mine. Instead of the Democrat twerp on this list sniping at him, he needs our prayers.
