Surely, even the SC Senate can smell the change in the wind. If not, we can set their butts alight to help them find their balls.

The Senate by design is a more deliberative body, so there will be more debate. At this point only one Senator seems to be in opposition, that be Mr. Bright of Spartanburg County, and all he said was it was equivalent to communist purges. He hasn’t said that he would vote for, against or attempt to filibuster any bill/amendment/resolution. He may just be grandstanding for his constituents. I expect this will go down rather quickly in both houses as a simple amendment to the Sine Die resolution.

’set their butts alight to help them find their balls’
I checked a book on anatomy, and the conclusion is that only someone else’s balls will be found. I personally did this test and found that all I needed to find my balls is a mirror.

If their butts are alight, that wind may have a nasty smell.

So kudos to Will. First of all it was FITS who first started talking about the flag early Friday morning while FoxNews ignored it, and CNN and MSNBC were still catching up on lost sleep from Thursday night. Will had a click poll up and running at 9:30 am – a poll that showed nearly 70% wanted the flag down (actually nearly 20% wanted it burned). Before the day was out FITS also had a story about the flag issue at the Citadel in Charleston, about the Unity March for Sunday, and the Flag rally for Saturday in Columbia. But also, strong work in reporting. It was FITS who reported yesterday morning that Davis was moving to get the Legislature inline to pass the changes required to remove the flag. And it was Will who first reported Nikki’s plans for her announcement (at or around the same time RNC Priebus was alerted by the Governor’s team in private). Will didn’t do it alone. The myriad of comments here and else where, other media outlets, all combined to shift public opinion (or at the very list funnel public sentiment) to our elected officials. But his obvious deep contacts within the state governing bodies (nu pun intended) enabled him to constantly break news quickly, and maintain the momentum. So credit where credit is owed.

Watch this pass with exactly a 2/3 majority, because as soon as it passes the cowards who gave lip service to bringing it down will vote to keep it where it is or not vote at all.

So, in your scenario they are voting AFTER it passes? I’m confused.
