SC won't fight Supreme Court stimulus challenge
Headline News
South Carolina Attorney General Henry McMaster says a lawsuit brought against the state over federal stimulus money is flawed and premature.
But McMaster said in a filing with the Supreme Court on Monday that he won't oppose the state Supreme Court taking up the challenge filed last week by a Chapin High School student.
McMaster says the timing may not be right to shift the issues raised in the case from a public policy debate to the courtroom.
McMaster says if the court takes the case he hopes the justices will apply principles that protect the state's rights.
