Governor Haley is echoing- or taking pointers from- consultant/blog Process Story when it comes to leaning on the legislature to let her actually be in charge of something.
Here's what she says:
Here's what Process Story says:
Courts? They don't matter. Speedbumps, even though the legislative majority in Columbia "elects" judges, mostly from their own friends and relations. They don't matter. We'll just go over their heads. Get some new, even more anti-everything GOPers to run against the RINOS and have a fine old time with a bunch of consultant-enriching primaries.
Seems like the Governor's strategy is just straight out of the Sanford playbook. Will there be pigs in the State House again?
Here's what she says:
COLUMBIA -- Gov. Nikki Haley said today that she thinks her failed effort to call the Legislature back into session this week will ultimately bring public pressure on lawmakers to take up and approve some of her proposals when they gather for a planned "wrap-up" session next week.
But the state Senate's top officer said Haley's power play might make lawmakers less likely to give her new authority.
The bill that caused the clash between the Republican governor and GOP-controlled Legislature would alter who controls the day-to-day operations of state government. Haley wants more authority and says her order for lawmakers -- issued last week and ruled unconstitutional Monday by the state's high court -- will nevertheless put them in the spotlight.
Here's what Process Story says:
It's striking the scorn the Governor and the Donehue shop have for democracy and courts. Process Story's constantly whining about legislative Democrats who "drag their feet" and don't simply trade their votes for another plate of gruel. PS is really peeved that Democrats won't throw themselves under the redistricting bus, for example. Or, in a nice racial pivot, that the Democratic Black Caucus won't do it for the Republicans. Talk about turkeys calling for an early Thanksgiving-
There are two courts. The court of law and the court of public opinion. McConnell may win the first, but Haley will dominate the second. And it’s the second court that has long-term repercussions.
