Judicial Reform in South Carolina

  Judicial Reform in South Carolina By Dennis Mitchell The Article of Rights, Section 8 - Separation of Powers, of the South Carolina Constitution states, “In the government of this State, the legislative, executive and judicial powers of the government shall be forever separate and distinct from each other, and no persons or persons exercising the functions of one of the said departments shall assume or discharge the duties of any other.” Separation of Powers is the basis of American Democracy, established by the Founding Fathers in the U. S. Constitution and copied by the states throughout the nation. In South Carolina, the letter of the law is followed with no person in one body exercising the functions of another. However, the method of selecting judges in the state, almost entirely in the hands of the legislature, has increasingly brought the question of undue influence by lawyers/legislators over the members of the judiciary. For that reason, judicial reform, changing the way the

Malfeasance - Democrats on Social Media

  Malfeasance - Democrats on Social Media Don't you just love witnessing the Democrats constantly bashing Trump on social media? It's starting to feel like déjà vu all over again. I mean, aren't they tired of playing the same old tune? It's like they're stuck in a loop, endlessly scrolling through their timelines, just to let out a virtual sigh of disdain at every Trump-related post. Come on, folks, there are cat videos out there that deserve more attention! But hey, I get it. Trump's tweets were like a never-ending reality show, a rollercoaster of chaos and confusion. It's hard not to poke fun at the guy, but c'mon every once in a while, you could save some outrage for crazy Uncle Joe.   Seriously, President Biden's recent comments about cannibals in New Guinea eating his uncle rank right at the top of the dumbest things ever uttered by a president.

Horry County’s Burgeoning Population

Horry County’s Burgeoning Population By Dennis Mitchell Population growth in Horry County is the single most difficult element Horry County Government must deal with as it budgets public tax dollars each year as it works to provide goods and services to its ever growing population. In 1980, Horry County crossed the 100,000 permanent population marker for the first time. By the year 2000, the county was just a couple thousand residents short of the 200,000 marker. Best estimates today show the current population as slightly over 411,000 permanent residents and an average daily population (residents, tourists, visitors and workers) doubling that amount. During that four decade period, resident population within the cities in the county has dropped from 40 percent in 1980 to less than 25 percent in 2024. In other words, the resident population in the unincorporated areas of the county, those areas for which the county must provide all goods and services, is drawing the largest proportion
