COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - South Carolina legislators have passed a measure lambasting Congress as overstepping its constitutional bounds.
The South Carolina House on Tuesday voted 86-27 to affirm its support of the Ninth and Tenth Amendments that limit the scope of federal power, and gun rights under the Second Amendment.
The vote ended a week of debate. Democrats complained the resolution was a pointless, political move to cull favor from conservative voters. They argued sending messages to Washington does nothing to improve the lives of South Carolinians.
Republicans countered that Democrats were the ones wasting time delaying and arguing against the measure.
The House initially approved it last year. The Senate approved an expanded version last month.
