REB2: They can't lower or take down the Confederate flag without approval of the state legislature.

Posted by ty97 Jun 19 '15, 10:08

A law was passed so that any lowering of the Confederate Flag would require a vote by the legislature (at least that's what I read yesterday). The lowered the US and SC flags.

Responses:

Are they in session? Then you take it to an emergency vote and be done. -- nm - TWuG Jun 19, 10:21 3
- Session has to end by first Thursday in June unless 2/3 vote to extend. So guessing they are out. -- nm - ty97 Jun 19, 10:30 1
  - I'd love to hear the phone calls and foot dragging happening right now. How long do we think it'll be before it drops? Before the 9 days is up? -- nm - TWuG Jun 19, 10:37
- That presumes they would want to do so. - Beryllium Jun 19, 10:22

- oh yes, the law was passed specifically to protect the flag's presence. -- nm - ty97 Jun 19, 10:31
Because asking the legislature to do that "not my job" -- nm - slipping jimmy Jun 19, 10:11
