She Did It: South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley Calls for Removal of Confederate Flag

[calimary]

40. That's a pretty high bar. Especially when it's majority GOP in that state legislature.

If they go for it now, it MIGHT succeed. But if they wait, or put it off, or somehow find a way to delay it for whatever procedural bullshit excuse the hate-rag defenders come up with, then it's a lost cause once again.

And considering that side of the aisle, remember the tendency we often see from there. It's consistently one of obfuscating, obstructing, dragging their heels any way they can think up to do so, and THEN, always trying to figure out HOW TO GET AROUND the rules, regs, restrictions, laws, whatever it is they don't like or feel like it's cramping their style somehow, or impinging upon their imagined concept of reckless, every-man-for-himself freedom-freedom. Maybe the flag might indeed be removed from that area around the state capitol, but will it also be removed from everywhere else in public?

Or will they just take it off that flag pole in front of the capitol building and hang it up elsewhere downtown?

It needs to be GONE.
