Where he says yes and means no? This is safe turf for the Republicans now, because several members of the SC legislature have agreed they need to consider the issue. One even said the flag used to be a symbol of southern bravery, etc. but was "appropriated" by the forces of racism and bigotry. Which is exactly right. Funny it took them over 50 years to notice.

This adds to my suspicion there's already a deal in the works to remove the flag. herding cats Jun 2015 #3

It will require a two-thirds vote of the legislature. totodeinhere Jun 2015 #8

No it won't. A Legislature cannot control future legislatures. yellowcanine Jun 2015 #28

I'm just quoting the raw Story article. Perhaps it is erroneous, totodeinhere Jun 2015 #36

I think the story is correct. But I don't think the 2/3 rule would hold up in court. yellowcanine Jun 2015 #37

IMO it's more likely that she is posturing and plans to hide behind that 2/3rds requirement. totodeinhere Jun 2015 #43
