They always said that the south will rise again, and South Carolina is where it started the first time. I find myself highly unsurprised that the pushback is being prepared for a federal overreach.

EXCELLENT NEWS!

I wish them all the best, support them unequivocally, and pray other States will join them.

I would be extremely impressed if our state representatives would do the same here.

Seems to be legislative grandstanding. We all know secession isn't going to happen. So, I guess because the proposal is so outlandish, it's a good way to bring attention to the issue.

Any legislators named "Calhoun" in S.C. this time?

Yeah, kind of like proposing a non-starter “assault weapons” ban...
