COLUMBIA, SC (WOLO)– South Carolina lawmakers pre-filed bills to regulate medical cannabis in the state. The SC Compassionate Care Act was introduced by long-time medical cannabis advocate Senator Tom Davis and Representative Bill Herbkersman.
Herbkersman cited his late brother’s experience finding relief from the drug when he was diagnosed with cancer as motivation for sponsoring the bill. The bills would create a comprehensive, well-regulated medical cannabis program to allow patients with serious medical conditions and illnesses to safely use the drug, when recommended by their doctor.
filibuster. let me restate that. ted cruz is fake filibustering the house of representative bill that defunds obama care. he is fake filibustering a bill that does exactly what he wants to do. why would he do this? because after the house of representatives called his cluf and passed a bill that defunded obama care, he came over on the press conference and attacked him because they wouldn t do anything in the senate and proving this morning he can t do anything because he has to negotiate with harry reid and he is making a spectacle because he got cornered. i agree with jeremy. there is an inverse relationship between how much you are despised in washington and how much you are loved by the base.
the ground, remember kosovo. everybody, republicans and democrats said it wouldn t work. it worked to save half a million muslims from genocide and toppled milosevic. the president, we could talk about the economy and gas prices and the fact that he came into the white house on anti-war sentiment. is there even an appetite for increased american intervention anywhere? we better hope there is because we ve got it now. to paraphrase, the presidencies what happens while the president is making other plans. i don t think he wanted to be in libya but felt compelled to do so. this is an analogy that is a good one as rwanda.
from new jersey, representative bill, said on the phone she s at the hotel now. she s fine. she s in good shape. but she did need a few tests apparently to make sure that she was all right. we had a strenuous few days in afghanistan but it was the most productive trip i ve ever been on as a member of congress. let s go to luke russert on the phone. what are you hearing about nancy pelosi? we heard that she was not feeling well. she s done quite a bit of travel this past week. she was leading a congressional delegation to rome to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the italian nation. she had a lot of meetings to meet with italian political officials, including the defense minister and members of the house parliament there. during this trip they made an unexpected another trip to afghanistan to check on the progress of the u.s. military
some attempts at propaganda and this appears to be one of them. now that the word is out, prachts that they are going to dial that back and not try to attempt this any way. i m sure the president will be asked this question, mick. but you have u.s. forces involved in the air strikes in libya, humanitarian efforts in japan, ongoing efforts in the war in iraq. is this just stretching the military too thin? well, it s a point that secretary gates himself raised a couple of weeks ago when the possibility that the u.s. would get involved in enforcing and establishing a no fly zone over tripoli. he pointed out that we still have american forces deployed in two wars, iraq and particularly afghanistan and did not you know, he was not exactly in favor of this operation if it meant that the u.s. military was going to get bogged down in another long-term conflict in
