In a shocking display of spinelessness, South Carolina Republicans have caved to the demands of the 'Mighty Jim' Clyburn, allowing his majority-Black district to remain untouched. For 34 years, Clyburn has held court like some kind of congressional kingpin, and it seems no one dares challenge his reign. Meanwhile, the rest of the state is left stuck in a redistricting purgatory, forced to endure the whims of this powerful Democrat's ego. The GOP's inability to take on Clyburn is a stark reminder that even the most powerful politicians can still lord their power over others with impunity.
