BUT CAN HE HANG ON LONG ENOUGH TO GET IT?

S.C. Speaker of the House Jay Lucas is one of the most powerful men in the Palmetto State.  He’s in command of one half of South Carolina’s all-powerful legislative branch – which wields almost absolute authority over the other two branches of government.

But Lucas – a fiscal liberal who hails from the dirt poor (well, poorer) Pee Dee region of the state – never really planned on becoming Speaker.

The job fell in his lap …

And now that Lucas is a year into the position, it’s becoming increasingly clear that he doesn’t enjoy the scrutiny that goes with it.

“He’s not happy,” one ranking “Republican” in the S.C. House told us. “He’s looking for the exit.”

The ongoing fallout from a brutal debate over the Confederate flag has left Lucas “reeling from the feeling” – and last month’s dust-up over an aborted campaign school has showed how badly divided his caucus is heading into an election year session of the legislature.

So, what does Lucas want to do?  According to our sources, his original goal upon entering the House (and then quickly climbing its ranks) was to put himself in position to become a S.C. Supreme Court justice.

As the Speaker’s job continues to wear on him, Lucas is said to be focusing more intently on that prospect.

The problem?  This year’s judicial election is already set – and next year’s race already appears to have a frontrunner (one reportedly endorsed by Lucas).  Due to ethics requirements and a lack of future openings, Lucas would have to wait up to three years for his shot at this less scrutinized position of power.

Will he?  And with his hold on the Speaker’s gavel more tenuous than ever … can he?

Sources close to the situation tell us Lucas’ potential slippage into “no man’s land” is being exploited by the neo-Confederate political empire of Richard Quinn – which is hoping to force him out sooner rather than later and install one of its own members as the new Speaker.

According to our sources, “the Quinndom” is grooming current S.C. Rep. Kenny Bingham for the role – and views the leaking of information regarding Lucas’ judicial ambitions as a central part of that strategy.

“They are at their most dangerous when they know what you want,” a lawmaker who has sparred with the Quinns told us.  “And they know what Jay wants.”

How will all of this play out?  We’re not exactly sure … but its clear this particular political drama will be worth watching as the 2016 session of the S.C. General Assembly gavels to order next month.

The thin skinned speaker who wears baby diapers is ready to quit?? you dont say. We certainly will miss his wailing in the well. However, the speaker didnt do much about Harrell and any potential follow-up, “federal probe of lawmakers”, and pretty much let Goldfinch stay with criminal charges, and was a mute and ineffective witness several ethics violation cases etc etc. How can he be effective in enforcing the law from the state supreme court. Where is the utmost integrity and track record we expect from such a high position?? Maybe that’s what the lawmakers want, a over-sized puppet at the supreme court who will go easy on them on their crimes but will jam it up the rest of our holes with felonies and misdemeanors for trivial things.

Jobs report is good. 211,000 new jobs created. Previous months revised upward by a total 35,000. Unemployment rate (U3) is still at 5.0%. Discouraged and part time unemployment (U6) ticked up from 9.8% to 9.9%. Wages rose slightly.

Job growth has slowed down considerably since July.November hiring increase is only ‘seasonal’ hiring for Christmas.

Retailers are expected to hire 755,000 temporary workers from October to December, according to outplacement consulting firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas. That’s down slightly from the number of seasonal hires last year.

Reply
Bible Thumper December 4, 2015 at 9:21 am

The numbers are seasonally adjusted to remove the effect of holiday hiring, but they are less than last year. Still the unemployment rate is 0.8% less than last year. The Employment-Population Ratio is only 0.1% above last year. That ia against the trend of aging baby boomers.

The household survey shows the adult population growing by 206,000, the workforce growing by 273,000, and 244,00 new jobs. Jobs only have to grow at 60% of adult population to maintain current employment – population ratio. So when jobs are growing faster than the adult population, that’s good.

The latest BLS unemployment
report states that last month
142,000 Americans entered
and 579,000 able-bodied
Americans voluntarily
departed the labor force, for a
net workforce loss of 437,000.
The official number of
unemployed (i.e., those who
continued to look for work)
dropped by 114,000, while
positive, this drop did not
compensate for the 437,000 people who quit looking for work and joined the Not-in-Labor-Force.
Consequently, last month the U.S. labor force decreased (loss) by a net 323,000 workers (142,000 gains +
114,000 less unemployed – 579,000 voluntary departures = 323,000 less workers).

Said field is rather small in the immediate area of the State House and going out in a 20 mile radius, with only about 5 major players and then a mid-market set of players numbering around 20, with limited new entrants that are able to actually gain a foothold.

Rocky Verdad December 4, 2015 at 10:05 am

Because I love you guys – historically since 1990, new job creation four to six years out from the bottom (period of negative job growth on average monthly) – tails off. 1991 – average monthly was -77K but four years later it dipped 321 in 1994 to 180 in 1995. It then rebounded 1996 through 2000. Same occurred 2001 with a monthly average of -145K, then peaked 2005 at 209K, and scaled back in 2006 to 174K. Only that time, the financial crisis screwed the pooch. In this scenario, we’ve dropped from 2014 monthly average of 260K to 210K. So the only real question is, will it pick up again in 2016 like it did in 1996, or crash like it did in 2007. Since we don’t have a housing bubble, and people aren’t fueling economc growth with unsustainable household debt, I’m going with 1995.

269,000 people filed for Unemployment last week. That is unfortunate, but nevertheless it is at a level that reflects a healthy economy. For November 211,000 more jobs were created than lost. The future of those 600 workers is of great concern, but workers would eventually be worse of if unprofitable companies were subsidized by profitable ones. That is what the company is proposing Santee Cooper do.

accounted for 25.7 percent of the unemployed. (See table A-12.)

I think most people are fair in judging the candidates for an election, and of course you don’t understand because your mind is closed. Could the fact be that your candidates just don’t measure up when compared to the opposition.

Flip, I used to joke about Kenny’s attorney with TARevolution because he would immediately cancel accounts and run and hide – operational point – run and hide – go away. So unless you’re motive is to make Thumper and others stop posting for a day or two – the subpoena thing is having the opposite affect of trolling.

Then you are GT since only he could make that claim – maybe. But 19 minutes ago you told Thumper you weren’t damaged.

J.Smith December 4, 2015 at 11:57 am

Rocky you appear to be a nice guy.Making a false point of fact that I am ‘GT’ (whomever he/she is),involves you in this matter much more deeply than I wish.

Have a nice weekend.

Rocky Verdad December 4, 2015 at 12:02 pm

Was just pointing out, you said “It has harmed my business and family” when 20 minutes before, in response to Thumper specifically questioning if you suffered damages to your ability to make a living you “Not me.” But whatever.

J.Smith December 4, 2015 at 12:07 pm

I stated in reply to Bible Thumper that it wouldn’t affect the filing of my subpoena for registration information and/or IP addresses.

Sounds like you are chomping at the bit to get more involved in this legal matter.

See if I can appease you.

Rocky Verdad December 4, 2015 at 12:12 pm

OK suit your self (no pun intended).

Sad, but true December 4, 2015 at 12:10 pm

It’s hard to believe a grown man with children is behind all of this idiocy.

Cowards love to call a man out…while they post under assumed names.

If you call a man out by name, you ought to use your name to do so.

Coward.

Pot meet Kettle December 4, 2015 at 5:15 pm

…and so should you use your real name. Coward.

James December 4, 2015 at 5:16 pm

Pot, you dumb ass. I did not call you out by name.

How stupid are you, Coward?

Pot meet Kettle December 4, 2015 at 5:17 pm

Use your real name coward sack of shit. What’s wrong with you?

James December 4, 2015 at 5:19 pm

Pot, you little brain, little dick coward.

The rule should be: To call a man out by his real name you must use your real name name. Or just be OK with being called what you are…a coward.

Pot meet Kettle December 4, 2015 at 5:27 pm

“The rule should be: To call a man out by his real name you must use your real name name.”

Come of sack of shit, give up your name. Anonymous coward.

Are you too stupid to follow your own made up rules?

James December 4, 2015 at 5:48 pm

Pot,

Are you completely dick-iess? Brainless?

You are a coward. Enjoy your cowardice. You Benedict Arnold, you Judas, you sack-o-coward-shit!

Puny Penis Pot,

You are the diminutive boy that wrote libelous comment on bathroom walls.

You are puny penis boy in the 8th grade gym class that notices his obvious deficiencies and makes up “gay gossip” about the properly endowed boys.

You are the miserable little man that libels other men on blogs while hiding behind a fictional name.

You are the emotionally stunted coward that makes real mean puke at you lack of manhood, both physical and emotional.

You are a coward, the lowest of men.

GrandTango December 4, 2015 at 6:26 pm

You caught me.

James December 4, 2015 at 6:27 pm

Caught someone, don’t know if it is you or not, but caught someone. That person is a coward.

GrandTango December 4, 2015 at 6:28 pm

Yep, just like you.

James December 4, 2015 at 6:29 pm

No sir. I would never call a man by name out from the safety of an anonymous post.

Only cowards do that.

GrandTango December 4, 2015 at 6:30 pm

So what’s your last name?

James December 4, 2015 at 6:33 pm

I am not calling anyone out by name so my name is not necessary.

Cowards that call out someone by name should be man enough to level the playing field and use their real name when posting.

Or just admit they are a coward.

GrandTango December 4, 2015 at 6:36 pm

Yes, you’re are right. I should have admitted I was a coward.

James December 4, 2015 at 6:37 pm

Yep, would have saved a lot of time, whoever you are.

GrandTango December 4, 2015 at 6:39 pm

Well, I called a lot of people names and threatened a lot of people under this name. Hopefully I will be forgiven for being a coward.

James December 4, 2015 at 6:40 pm

You may or may not be “the” GrandTango. if you have done those things, you are a coward. Something you have to live with, not me.

TARevolution December 4, 2015 at 6:43 pm

Yes, you are correct. GrandTango has much to live. Maybe he will one day come out from behind his anonymity and apologize for his behavior.

James December 4, 2015 at 6:44 pm

I don’t know about him as I am not on line that much. Anyone that calls a man out on this blog while using a fake name is a coward. period.

TARevolution December 4, 2015 at 6:45 pm

Well, that’s all GrandTango did all day long- so you didn’t miss much.

Bingham doesn’t impress me much but I hope Jay Lucas doesn’t get a crumb of what he desires. The anti-2A POS had promised to have the House version of Constitutional Carry brought to the floor in the waning days of this year’s legislative session. Instead, Jay found excuse after excuse, such as playing golf, to adjourn early and the bill was never brought to the floor.

This parasite (Lucas) does not deserve a spot on SCSC. If he doesn’t like his current duties he can always do SC a favor and quit running for office, returning to the private sector. How aboutvit Jay-Jay?

The Speaker is finding out that is is exceedingly difficult to be an honest man in a position of leadership in SC.

Either you compromise your beliefs, do nothing, or end up beaten like a wet dog by interests groups, politicians, insiders and the press.

Jay, get out while you can. Your honorable character is a liability you won’t be able to overcome.
