A South Carolina Divorce Attorney’s Perspective on Newt & Marianne Gingrich

I am a divorce attorney at The LaMantia Law Firm in Charleston, South Carolina.  While I have not been at it for very long, in some capacity or another I have been involved in the practice of family law for about two years now. When news of the Marianne Gingrich interview currently being sat upon [...]

The Right and Wrong Way for Republicans to Attack Romney on Bain Capital

Regardless of how they feel about the candidate himself, I’d be willing to be that most on the American political right are okay with Mitt Romney’s record at Bain Capital, in spite of attacks on that record sparked and parroted by those trying to chip away at his status as frontrunner for the GOP nomination.  [...]

Justice Dept. Opposition to SC Voter ID Law an Affront to Our Republic

“May I see some I.D.?” If you have ever cashed a check at the bank, bought cigarettes or alcohol, flown in an airplane, entered a government building, rented a car, watched an R-rated movie at the theater or asked the pharmacist for the real allergy medication and not that pseudoephedrine-free junk, that’s a question that [...]

Creating Chaos to Facilitate Failure

It’s a hallmark of the progressive Left: create chaos on a smaller scale, so as to foment the sentiments that will allow for the implementation of changes on a macro level that would otherwise not have been palatable due to the obvious risk of absolute failure. We see that hallmark in a nutshell in ObamaCare.  [...]

The ‘Fair Share’ Farce

It’s war on the wealthy.  And while I hope to some day soon parley my law degree into solvency, if not comfort, I can assure you that at this point in time I have far more in common with those protesting Wall Street than those being protested. Well, insofar as my bank account and wallet [...]

Ideological Pyromaniacs

One of the enduring political images of the past two-and-a-half years–an image that has become even more pronounced since the nature of this administration’s radical agenda increasingly revealed itself–is that of then-Sen. Barack Obama as the Joker from the latest incarnation of the Batman film franchise.  There are some people who don’t quite understand the rationale [...]

Casey Anthony & the Free Market

According to the Orlando Sentinel, a tall pine tree growing near the spot where little Caylee Anthony’s remains were discovered was struck by lightning yesterday, only hours after the world learned that Mother of the Year [in Hell] Casey Anthony would be released from prison next week after having already served time for her convictions [...]

Waivers for Favors?

Please consider the following hypothetical argument, as I think in analogies, and this one is as good as any when it comes to understanding the current culture and currency of ObamaCare waivers. I am a state representative here in South Carolina.   In the Palmetto State, highway fatalities in 2010 were slightly more numerous than in [...]
