DeMint Replaced By Tim Scott-- African American Endorsed by Tea Party

Scott is a cultural and economic conservative, endorsed by the tea party. (Think Allen West?) This is a man who fought for, as wikipedia reports,

having the   Ten Commandments   posted outside the county council chambers, saying it would remind members of the absolute rules they should follow. The county council then unanimously approved the display and Scott nailed a   King James   version of the Commandments to the wall. Shortly after, the   ACLU   and   Americans United for Separation of Church and State   sued. After an initial court ruling said the display was unconstitutional, the council settled to avoid accruing more legal fees.   Regarding the costs of the suit, Scott said, "Whatever it costs in the pursuit of this goal (of displaying the Commandments) is worth it."
