SC Supreme Court tells Gov. Sanford to STFD & STFU

(I posted this over on LJ's ontd_p, but couldn't resist posting here, too)

The court voted 5-0, with Justice Costa Pleicones concurring in a separate opinion, that the General Assembly had the authority in passing the state budget to order Sanford to apply for the money. Sanford contended that a federal law passed in February gave him the sole authority to apply for the money.

The justices also issued a rare writ of mandamus ordering Sanford to apply for the money.

Here's the posted opinion

HA!
