SC has a prohibition on the legislature passing state laws that only apply to one county. After that became part of the Constitution, they tried various ways to get around it. One was to have a law that only applied to "coastal counties with more than 100,000 people." It turns out that only Charleston County fit that definition.
When the case got to court the judge ranted at the AG who was defending the legislature for thinking the Court would be stupid enough to allow this obvious disregard of the law.
