Critical Realism: Essential Readings
Margaret Scotford Archer
Routledge, 1998 - Philosophy - 756 pages
Since the publication of Roy Bhaskar's A Realist Theory of Science in 1975, critical realism has emerged as one of the most powerful new directions in the philosophy of science and social science, offering a real alternative to both positivism and postmodernism. This reader makes accessible in one volume key readings to stimulate debate about and within critical realism, including - the transcendental realist philosophy of science elaborated in A Realist Theory of Science; Bhaskar's critical naturalist philosophy of social science; the theory of explanatory critique, which is central to critical realism; and the theme of dialectic, which is central to Bhaskar's most recent writings. The volume includes extracts from Bhaskar's most important books, as well as selections from other importants contributors to the critical realist program. It also includes both a general introduction and original introductions to each section.

Crown Molding
We are currently building a new home and the builder is throwing in crown molding everywhere in the house. Downstairs, Upstairs, Study, Secondary bathrooms, everywhere. I always thought of crown molding as an upgrade feature so we were happy they were putting crown molding everywhere.
But now my wife is having second thoughts about crown molding in the secondary bathrooms. She is of the opinion that crown molding should only be in formal areas. I know it's a matter of preference but just wanted to see what everyone here thought of this situation.
Crown molding everywhere? or just in the formal areas. What would you do.
Definitely go for it. Just be sure the size of the crown is matched by the height of the ceiling and size of room. Large crown molding in a small powder room with a 8' ceiling is overwhelming.
It depends on the style of your house.
I'd love to NOT have any CM, especially in the LR, as I want that retro-modern look but not having CM wouldn't be appropriate in our house, kwim?
There are plenty of houses on GW and Houzz that have no CM whatsoever and they look great IMO.
But it all depends.
But I am not an interior designer. :-)
There's no real right or wrong if she's worried about it being appropriate or not.
As has been mentioned, it's more about keeping what trim you install compatible with the overall style of your house, and keeping it in scale with the room. Economy comes into play as well.
My house is trim overload. While the house itself is colonial in style, my kids bedrooms both have wainscoting and crown. My son's room trends away from colonial, but it's what he wanted in his space.
My daughter's room, especially with her platform bed, probably has more raised panels than some houses, lol. So good and bad.
There is a builder around here that is installing crown simply so they can cover their always wavy wall-ceiling drywall corners. Some use crown to hide truss lift.
So crown can be decorative. Or it can be functional. Or both.
I think it is a matter of taste and your house style. I put crown molding in all my bedrooms as I have a colonial and I feel it goes with wallpaper and a cozy look. I used a simple colonial 2 1/2 inch. I have none in my upstairs bathrooms as my tile goes to the ceiling. In my main floor I have a modern living room and dining room and crown molding would have looked odd, so I have nothing. However, in my hallways, I have a very simple but wide crown molding. I have a rather ornate crown in my family room and none in my kitchen as it too is modern. I do believe the mix blends. Contractors like it as it hides uneven corners and you don't have to paint in as exacting a way. So, just do what you like and make sure the crown and baseboard is your taste.
Crown was classically put in 'public rooms' (LR, DR. foyer, siting room)and omitted from bedrooms and 'non-public' rooms to save cost.
Wood crown was shaped by had using molding planes.
Plaster crown was 'run in place' and left either plain of embellished with cast (or even carved in place) details 'after the fact.'
You can do what your desire and wallet can sustain.

Belonging to Solarize Harrisonburg made our transition to solar both efficient and painless. Making the switch is a natural, sun-powered high. What could be better than simultaneously saving money, helping stabilize the climate, and supporting community?
If states choose to follow Senator McConnell's bad advice, it is more likely that electricity rates will continue to rise. However, the sooner a state chooses to embark on the path toward energy efficiency and renewable energy, the better for the ratepayer.
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Gina McCarthy warned that the requirements to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from power plants will be enforced whether or not states chose to cooperate. "If folks think ... [the Clean Power Plan] isn't going to be implemented, I think they need to look at the history of the Clean Air Act more carefully," she said.
Utilities make their money by building big, new infrastructure projects and then sending ratepayers the bill. This is exactly why utilities want to eliminate policies that encourage homeowners and businesses to go solar.

Click here to know more All about the About Augusta National Golf Club By paul.goodguy The prestigious origins of the Augusta National Golf Club date back to 1934, when it was first named as the location for one of golf's greatest tournaments, the Masters. Located in lush August, Georgia, it is recognized as one of the premiere golf courses in the world as well as one of the most beautiful. The verdant landscape comes by its greenery naturally – the land the course is located on was once a tree nursery. The Beauty of the Course Majestic trees, colorful flowers, and vibrant shrubs characterize the landscape of the August National Golf Club. It makes perfect sense, then, that each hole is named for the type of greenery located in the midst. In days past, the course stood out from others due to its comparatively small amount of bunkers as well as the fairway widths. In the era when golf was becoming more and more popular, this golf course presented a pleasant change from the norm. History of the Course Since its inception, there have been a variety of architects who have added their distinctive style to the August National Golf Club. Some changes have included the addition of bunkers, a decrease in the contour of the greens, the placement of additional trees along the fairways, and an increased number of roughs. Bermuda grass was long the traditional grass seeded on the greens, however, in 1981 the course changed to bent grass. This allowed for a surface which is faster for golfers and the main reason behind decreasing the contours of the greens. The most familiar landmark to fans of the Augusta National Golf Club is arguably the large oak tree. Located along the course side of the clubhouse, this tree has been estimated to be about 150 years old. Another landmark is the Eisenhower tree, a loblolly pine which marks the 17th hole of the golf course. How I Make $1000 A Weekend With Golf Biz Hosting Hit the Green golf contests at local golf courses. Affiliates earn $74.50 per sale. Page 1 Presented by Daniel Toriola It is so named because of a story in which President Eisenhower supposedly hit it with his golf ball several times in a row and requested that the Golf Club remove the offending tree. Augusta National Golf Club's chairman at the time, rather than risk offending President Eisenhower, simply closed the meeting to discussion. President Eisenhower also lends his name to another feature of the Augusta National Golf Club: Ike's Pond. At the time it was named, Eisenhower was a general in the army. After taking a walk in the woods which run along the eastern side of the golf course grounds, he indicated to the golf club's chairman that he had found an ideal spot to place a pond feature. It was so built, in just the place Eisenhower had suggested. With its venerable history and beautiful greens, the Augusta National Golf Club is truly an American icon.

Page 2 Presented by Daniel Toriola All about the augusta golf club and its design By paul.goodguy The Augusta national golf club has been the location of the well known and highly televised Masters Tournament. The course is located in Augusta Georgia and has be placed on land that used to be a tree nursery. An elegant designed golf course for those with the skill to enjoy. The Augusta national golf club is adorned with mature trees, flowers, as well as shrubs and every hole has the name of a tree or a shrub that is located on the hole. In the early days it stood out from the rest of the golf courses due to the small number of bunkers it contained, compared to other golf courses. The widths of the fairways on the course were also different from the other professional quality courses. Design changes to the Course Over the years architects have made changes to the course such as placing more bunkers, decreasing the contours of the greens and placing more trees on the course. The creation of serveral rough areas made the course more challenging. The greens at the Augusta course had a long tradition of being made from traditional Bermuda grass. In 1981, they were changed to being made from bent grass, which provides a faster surface on the green. This was the deciding factor for the decrease in the contours that were placed on the green. Members of the Augusta national golf club are probably familiar with the large oak tree that is located on the course and is thought to be over 140 years old. The Eisenhower tree is a solid pine tree, which is situated on the 17th hole of the course. Historians of the course claim that the tree was hit with a golf ball numerous times, (to his disgust) by President Eisenhower, and so he recommended that the tree be removed. The chairman of the course at the time did not want to have to ignore the recommendation of the President, however he decided the best thing to do was close the meeting. The course also has Ike's Pond, which was named after General Eisenhower. He had taken a walk in the woods on a distance portion of the club grounds, and advised the chairman of the club that he had found a great place to include a pond. The pond was built based on his recommendation. I believe the chairman's job was an extremely diplomatic role ,with so many top names of politics and high ranking officials. It allowed its first African-American member in 1990. The Augusta course is one of the most beautiful golf courses in the world, for both professionals and the weekend players. I highly recommend it if for only to pick out the specific icons mentioned here, and to identify how they arrived on the course.

I know many of you are dying to know what's happening with Cora. This is just a short excerpt to whet your whistle. Later, I plan to post an extended excerpt in the free reads section of my site.
Add A WICKED NIGHT to your "to read" list.
Cora pushed against Sadira's hold, trying to take command of her body and finding no give. Sadira was in control as long as she wanted to be in control. Cora realized now that Sadira had allowed her to surface before, because as soon as she'd taken over, weakness had saturated Cora's resolve, driving her back like the deluge of a tsunami.
Now she could only watch as though through someone else's eyes. And just like before, she attempted to communicate with Sadira, first by groveling: Please get out of my body. I promise to help you break this curse you're under once you've freed me.
No answer.
She changed tactics: You have no right to claim my body. You greedy selfish witch! Mace will never allow you to stay where you are, and by the looks of your Knoxy, he is of the same mind. Do yourself a favor and vamoose before it's too late.
Still no response.
When pleading and threats failed, curiosity took over. What is your goal here? she asked, exasperated and unsure if Sadira could even hear her. You're obviously pathetically obsessed with Knox. Only the goddess knows why. He's horrid, overbearing, cruel…
"Oh, would you please shut up," Sadira hissed.
You heard me? You can hear me!
"Of course I can hear you. You're positively pathetic, begging for mercy. Just shut up and learn something."
Sadira began chanting in another language, the words unfamiliar to Cora. After a moment, the rope binding her wrists darkened in color, seeming to grow brittle before her eyes. A faint crackling preceded the breaking of a small strand, and then another. Amazingly, with Sadira still chanting, the rope shed away before decomposing entirely into dust.
Sadira stood up and stretched, clearly pleased with herself. "You're powerful, girl. I'm lucky to have you."
You don't have me, Cora objected.
"Don't I? Move a limb, if you can."
She tried, and failed.
"This body is mine now, girl. You are only an unwanted passenger. Better come to grips with that now."
You evil bitch.
"I don't abide harsh language," Sadira said darkly.
What are you going to do about it?
"You'd be surprised by all I can do. Mind your soul, lest I make it mine as well." Sadira stepped forward, but was unexpectedly propelled backwards.
She tilted her head to the side, confused. Raising her palm—Cora's palm—she splayed her fingers over the invisible barrier and then cursed. As she started a new chant, power developed in her palms, hot and heavy. When she released the power at the cell wall, it fizzled on contact. Sadira grew furious, pacing like a caged lion.
Cora scoffed. What were you saying about all you can do? You can't even get us out of here.
"Shut up, you weak-willed wench."
Sadira's rage burned through Cora, almost making it hers. She managed to separate herself from it, but just barely.
Who are you? Cora demanded. What is your history with Knox? Looks like we've got nothing but time till they get back, so you might as well tell me.
Sadira slammed a fist against the force field, ignoring her. Then, like a wild woman, she cried out and attacked the force field again with a succession of power-filled bolts.
Little good it did.
"Trapped so long, only to be trapped again."
Why were you trapped? Tell me your story. Maybe I can help. Perhaps we can come to an agreement.
"You'll not get your body back, and I don't need your help. I will get free. I'm so close. Soon I'll have Knox, and then vengeance."
Vengeance? On who?
"You will weaken and fade, and then I will be spared your sniveling voice in my pretty new head."
That gave Cora pause. Could she lose her body entirely to this horrible—what had Knox called her?—wraith? Was there nothing to be done? Not for the first time, she wished she knew more about the supernatural world. Then maybe she could have defended against this unwanted invasion.
"Knox was bound to me once, and now, thanks to this body, he is once more."
You were blood bound to Knox?
The door whooshed open then. Knox entered with a limp body slumped over his shoulder.

Quick Study: Do Elephants Get Stressed Out When Living Alongside People?
The Study: Ahlering, M.A., J.E. Maldonado, L.S. Eggert, R.C. Fleischer, D. Western and J. Brown. 2013. Conservation outside protected areas and the effect of human-dominated landscapes on stress hormones in savannah elephants. Conservation Biology, 27: 569–575. doi: 10.1111/cobi.12061
The Big Question: In East Africa, savannah elephants are increasingly expanding outside of protected parks and into surrounding areas where people and agriculture dominate. Do elephants experience stress when living alongside human populations — even in situations where they are not being actively poached? The answer, according to this new paper from lead author Marissa Ahlering of The Nature Conservancy and colleagues, can be found… in their poop.
Study Nuts and Bolts: The ability to measure stress hormones in wild animals has improved dramatically in the past decade with the development of fecal metabolite analysis techniques. In this study, scientists compared the levels of glucocorticoid (GC) hormone (which increases in response to stress) of elephants in a community conservation area (CCA) established by Maasai pastoralists with elephants at two nearby protected areas, Kenya's Amboseli and Maasai Mara National Parks. The elephants in the CCA are exposed to "dense human settlements, agricultural areas, and intense livestock grazing on a daily basis," while the elephants in the national parks are only exposed to humans through limited ecotourism and research.
To measure the stress hormone, scientists collected fresh dung samples and extracted DNA and hormone samples. The hormone samples were frozen immediately in liquid nitrogen, transferred to Nairobi for storage and then shipped overnight on dry ice to the United States where they were run through a series of metabolic analyses.
The Findings: The researchers found no evidence of chronic stress in the elephants living within the CCA. The stress levels of the CCA elephants were the same as elephants in the nearby protected area of Maasai Mara, although elephants at Amboseli exhibited lower stress than the other two groups.
What it All Means: The results surprised the researchers — they expected the elephants in the CCA to exhibit higher levels of stress due to a higher degree of contact with humans. These findings indicate that elephants can successfully live in human-dominated areas — and suggest that CCAs should be part of the solution in efforts to restore elephants to areas where illegal ivory poaching has decimated their populations.
Editor's Note: Check back later this week for a more in-depth report on this research.

By Truckinginfo Staff
Deputy Transportation Secretary John Porcari is stepping down after four and a half years of service.
In a message to DOT employees, Secretary Anthony Foxx thanked Porcari and said he has asked Federal Highway Administrator Victor Mendez to step in as Acting Deputy Secretary starting Jan. 1.
Porcari led the Department's effort to streamline the infrastructure project approval process and cut red tape, major initiatives of the last highway bill. He also increased enforcement of the Buy America program, Foxx said.
"Through these programs and so many others, John is leaving the Department and the Nation's transportation system stronger than when he started," Foxx said in his message.
"Both (former Transportation) Secretary (Ray) LaHood and I have benefited from having him by our sides at every step of the way."
As head of the Maryland Department of Transportation before taking the DOT job in June 2009, Porcari helped plan the rebuilding of the Woodrow Wilson Bridge across the Potomac River on I-95.
Mendez has been FHWA Administrator since 2009. Before then he was with the Arizona DOT and served as President of the Western Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials, and the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials.

Saber Marionette R DVD (Hyb)
Randy Cobb - Jul 18 2004
Rating: Wonderful!
A great show
I was really not expecting much from this show since I was comparing it very heavily to Saber Marionette J, which is one of my favorite shows. Boy was I suprised when I heard Maggie Blue O'Hara retaining her role as Lime on the English dub. In fact most of the voice actors from SMJ were in this one. I was expecting totally different actors since AnimeWorks did this one, not Bandai.
The Character designs were done by someone other than Tsukasa Kotobuki so the look of the show is really different compared to the other series. In fact this show is really dark, meaning most of it takes place at night and the colors are not as bright.
The story was really good for only being 3 episodes. They could have had a little more background story on Starface because they really don't tell you why he was in prison at the beginning. Other than that the story was great.
The DVD only has trailers as extras but I guess that kept the price under $20.

A new take on Saber Marionette
This review is based on the vhs version!! I'm a SMJ fan and this was hard to get ahold of. Basically it's an alternate take on SMJ. All the framilar characters are here-Lime, Cherry etc. They are much "younger" in this incarnation. There is a much darker atmosphere present, the story has a small amount of comedy-my favorite scene is where Cherry chain slaps the old geezer who gropes her in the wrong place. All in all it's a good watch. I understand that this dub was used in the dvd version-it's very well done, better than the japanese original. Gotta say I prefer dubs to subs, though.

Not Your Fathers Saber Marionette
This awas a little bit of a mystery to me-I had heard mostly good things about it. Upon watching it one thing was readily apperent, it's a much darker take on the SM universe. I think the relationship is like the Tenchi Muyo story arcs-different takes on the same story.The story is well done, the characters are unique. Best of all it's quite short, 1 1/2 hrs in length. It gets quite a lot done in that short time. Lime, Cherry and Bloodberry are quite a bit different from previous incarnations. All in all this is very good, I would highly reccommend it to any SM fan.
Julius D. Terrell - Sep 19 2006 firstname.lastname@example.com
Rating: Wonderful!
I loved this OVA because I love fighting. Watching all three marionettes in action is a real treat. Wow, that bloodberry can sure deliver the blows, but I everyone shouldn't underestimate little lime. How cute, but deadly she is.
The story starts out with our badguy star face being arrested, while creating a new marionette. It just evolves from that and gets pretty danm heartdredching.
I loved "R" more because of the dark atmosphere and adult appeal this show has. There are plenty of comedic moments, but the real love for this OVA comes from the darkness it harnesses. Watch this one in the dark.

Norwegian Star Cruise Review by HokiePoq: Wonderful Time on the Star

Compare Prices on Norwegian Star Panama Canal & Central America Cruises
Wonderful Time on the Star
We took this cruise as the second half of the back to back, roundtrip Miami. After the first two weeks on Code Red for Norovirus due to the cruise before us, it was surprising to find the salt and pepper shakers back on the table on embarkation day. This only lasted until after the call at Cabo as either folks brought Noro onboard or it was picked up at Cabo. As on the first fourteen day cruise, the crew handled this admirably. The ship was disinfected constantly and illness held to a minimum. After hearing about the RCCL ships with larger problems and one being sent back to port, the precautions were just a mild inconvenience.
We chose different activities in the ports for this cruise. At Cabo we spent the day walking the marina boardwalk, sipping margaritas at a bar on the far end of the boardwalk where it was less crowded, and watching the entertaining sea lions who jump on the back of sea lion friendly fishing boats upon their return to the marina. We were told that the More sea lions know which boats feed them and those are the ones they go to. In Puerto Vallarta we chose another ship's excursion provided by Puerto Vallarta Adventures. This one had two stops, one for a choice of snorkeling or kayaking and the other at a remote village only accessible by boat. Let's just say we're glad we didn't buy the kayak we've been considering as older joints found this difficult. We hiked to the waterfall while some chose to remain on the beach. At Huatulco, we enjoyed the river float trip which was a new experience for us. . At Puerto Chaipas, we chose to remain in the beautiful port area and and sample the local beer. In Puntarenas, we took the forest sky walk and shopping village excursion. This is the only one of all the excursions we took on the back to back that we would not recommend. The large group spent most of its time on the trail waiting for others and the shopping village only had one store. However, we once again enjoyed the wonderful local crafts at the port, spending all the cash we'd brought with us off the ship and wishing I'd had more. The Panama Canal transit is more scenic, in my opinion, from this direction. We did not go out early for the first two locks which are separated. We came out for the Gatun locks and by that time the crowd had thinned and we had a marvelous view. You can see the three locks from above and the transition back to sea level. NCl brings a great narrator onboard for the transit who used to work for the Canal Authority. The port arrival times were more reasonable for the LA to Miami fourteen days than on the reverse. The ship was not as crowded as it was on our first fourteen days, Miami to LA.
We found the food quite good at both specialty restaurants and the main dining rooms. Our cabin steward did a great job. We enjoyed the entertainment, choosing the shows we missed the first fourteen days and spending the off nights at Gatsby's with Motown Man Stan Sykes who we really enjoyed. We did repeat seeing the Four Seasons Tribute group Oh What a Night which I really enjoyed. We also enjoyed the great solo show put on by George Solomon who is the front man for that group. We saw the group Graffiti which features very talented string players along with vocals and comedy.
The Star treated the Cruise Critic Roll Call group with great hospitality. We were invited to a tour of the bridge which we really enjoyed as well as a followup meeting at the Star Bar at the end of the cruise. Hotel Director Tony Winkler does a superb job. We chose an inside cabin for the 28 days as the price differential was greater than it usually is to get a balcony cabin. A balcony would have been nice for the transit, but views are available elsewhere and we saved a great deal of money. Our cabin was midship, very conveniently located on deck 9. For a longer winter cruise away from cold weather, the back to back was a great and economical choice. Less

Thanks for looking.
veryblessed I am not sure that is an Empress Wu. I know for a fact that a man come with each Empress Wu as pictured in every catalogue in the known hosta world. lol just kidding
You have some very beautiful beds there. Looks like it will be fun to fill. Keep us posted with photos. Paula
Yes, that Japanese maple is absolutely PERFECT. Almost a natural bonsai it is so petite and precious. Lovely growth habit.
Finally someone else has a Spring Break, one of Stuart Asch's hosta. Mine is in its second year.
Your entire garden is beautiful. Perfection.
Thanks everyone for your very kind comments! Like everyone else here it is a labor of love for us. Thanks for the heads up on the Empress Wu, I am going to go back through my notes and make sure I have it labled correctly and then check with Rob. Paul it is funny you mention that, as I was out trudging around in the rain with my camera, my neighbors just slow way down and look, they think we are crazy any way...lol But I think in that weather the plants just glow. TJ, that is a "Garnet"
Moccasin, I do like the Stuart Asch hostas as well, you dont see them around that much. Thanks again everyone, I will post a few more as some of our later ones wake up.
Here are a few more from yesterday. I wish they could look like this year round! Thanks for looking!

How unique!
Hope you do not mind if I put up some of my Stuart Asch hosta?
Don't know if I have a shot of Ruffian or not. I'll look for it.
But here are three probably the latest shot of them. I have them close together, but Ruffian is in a tub with other small hosta.
Bibb Lettuce (gold), Stiff Upper Lip, and Nathan's Nirvana.
(ahhhh, this is from May 6, other must be in my camera)
Ruffian is in this bowl with Venusta and Munchkin.
Last year Stuart Asch had some of his hosta on Hosta Library auction, I think he was moving soon thereafter. That is where I got Bibb Lettuce, Stiff Upper Lip, Nathan's Nirvana, Ruffian, and Spring Break.
Bibb Lettuce does look good enough to eat. It has light substance, or it did last year when it arrived. It took a while for it to adjust to the humidity here. I was afraid it wouldn't make it over the winter, when I think it went heat dormant and just eased on into the winter dormancy. Then this spring, it popped up pure yellow and looking like .....a head of Bibb Lettuce! Nice crisp lettuce, with a bit more substance than it had last year. Stiff Upper Lip has a leaf which feels like a thick Playtex work glove, very heavy substance, and very dark. I take pictures regularly, so if you are interested in what happens to their looks during the growing season, I'll be happy to show them off..
Moccasin, that is where I got mine from. I missed Bib Lettuce some how. I really like the look of it, it looks like you could put a little dressing on it and have a meal :-)
Here is one more of his I forgot to post.

Minimum wage set to rise
By Don Davis, Forum News Service
ST. PAUL -- Minnesota's minimum wage is about to rise.
After the House passed 71-60 a higher minimum wage Thursday, it heads to Gov. Mark Dayton, who is expected to sign it into law.
"I think this is a great trade off, minimum wage for a better life for a great many people in this state," Rep. Tim Mahoney, D-St. Paul, said.

Scoppe: Gov Nikki Haley and the stuff of tyrants and dictators
IT'S NOT AT all surprising that the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals would rule that Gov. Nikki Haley and other state officials can be sued for having Occupy Columbia protesters arrested for violating a law that didn't exist.
What should be surprising, and certainly is disturbing, is that our governor stands behind her decision — which suggests that she would do the same thing again if given the opportunity.
The issue here isn't whether it ought to be illegal to camp out on the State House grounds. I think it's perfectly reasonable to require protesters to go home for a few hours every night rather than becoming squatters. And in fact that is the law today.
The issue is whether it was illegal at the time that Gov. Haley called in the Bureau of Protective Services (which doesn't work for her, but complied with her orders nonetheless) to arrest and forcibly remove the protesters. It very clearly was not. And even if the state had been able to put up a razzle-dazzle defense to convince a judge that a vague Budget and Control Board regulation prohibited round-the-clock protests, the governor did not have the authority to enforce that regulation, since she has but one of five votes on that board.
As a federal district judge explained at the time, in issuing a restraining order to protect the protesters, the governor was "making up" the rules as she went along.
What occupy protestors want is to be compensated financially for their 2011 arrests, which they argue violated their constitutional rights in addition to violating state law. The question of whether they deserve compensation and if so how much and from whom — the governor personally or all of us as taxpayers — eventually will be determined by a federal court.
What all of us should want is an apology from our governor, and a pledge to obey the rule of law.
Because this isn't a first offense. Gov. Haley has demonstrated a disturbing pattern of assuming for herself powers that she very clearly does not have.
In 2012, the Legislature passed a budget that fully covered the increased cost of health-insurance premiums for state employees and retirees. The governor could have vetoed the funding but chose not to. Later that month, when the perfunctory matter of approving insurance rates came before the Budget and Control Board, she persuaded Treasurer Curtis Loftis and Comptroller General Richard Eckstrom to join her in brushing aside the protestations of the two legislators on the board and requiring state employees and retirees to pay part of the increase themselves. Earlier this year, the state Supreme Court ruled unanimously that the governor and her co-conspirators had violated the constitution by usurping the Legislature's power to write the law.
Earlier in 2012, she persuaded the state Republican Party executive committee to ignore a Supreme Court order and put her favorite candidate back on the ballot after that spring's ballot purge. The State Election Commission refused to acknowledge the resulting lawlessness, saving the governor and the party the ignominy of being found in contempt of court.
The previous year, Gov. Haley unconstitutionally ordered the Legislature back into "extraordinary" session because it refused to pass a bill that she supported. The Supreme Court overturned her order.
In all of these cases, the governor had the right policy position: We shouldn't allow protesters, or tourists, or anyone else, to camp out on the State House grounds. It made perfectly good sense to have state employees pick up part of the increased cost for their health insurance. Candidates shouldn't have been kicked off the ballot for doing what state officials told them to do. The Legislature should have come back to town to pass the bill abolishing the Budget and Control Board — something it still hasn't managed to do more than two years later.
But in every single case, she was doing things she had absolutely no legal authority to do.
Four times in less than two years, our governor ignored the rule of law. Pretended that the limits of the constitution or the statutes do not apply to her. Had people arrested for doing things no law prohibited. Persuaded her political minions to take action in direct defiance of an unambiguous Supreme Court order. Assumed the power to rewrite the duly enacted state budget.
This is lawless behavior. It's the stuff of tyrants and dictators. And not once has our governor shown any remorse. Not once has she acknowledged that she is required to obey the law. Not once has she said, you know, I got bad legal advice. Or, I really should have done things differently.
Her spokesman responded to the court's order this week by saying that "We continue to stand behind the decision made two years ago — and which is still the rule today — that the State House grounds are not meant to be used as a public toilet or campground."
Notice the middle part of that statement: "and which is still the rule today."
It's not a rule; it's a law. And it doesn't still exist. It now exists, because state officials who care about the rule of law decided they needed to actually adopt a rule, and later pass a law, if they wanted to arrest people for violating it.
It's not a radical concept, or a particularly difficult one. But it's one our governor still can't seem to grasp.
