Mark Sanford ~~ "AP NewsBreak: SC lawmakers to take up impeachment"

[Hepburn]

COLUMBIA, S.C. — South Carolina lawmakers plan to formally consider impeaching Gov. Mark Sanford for the first time next week, the chairman of the committee beginning that work said Friday.

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Harrison told The Associated Press he is appointing an ad-hoc committee of four Republicans and three Democrats who will begin meeting Tuesday. He said he expects to have a resolution to impeach ready before Christmas for the full Judiciary Committee to consider.

...

The meeting is to take up the issue at the heart of an impeachment resolution that four Republicans filed this week. It says Sanford left no one in charge of the state, a dereliction of duty, while he "directed members of his staff in a manner that caused them to deceive and mislead the public officials" about where he was. His staff told reporters he was hiking the Appalachian Trail.

2. GOOD! I can't believe SC let him get away with this as long

as they have! He thinks an appology was going to be good enough, and he was wrong!

I personally don't care who he's playing around with, but to disappear from your job for over a week and telling noone where you are or how to reach you is just plane wrong! I'm glad to see deriliction of duty is part of the charge.

I'm retired now, but if I (or any of you) had done anything like that, there wouldn't have been a job when we returned!
