SENATOR LINDSEY GRAHAM CALLED THE INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT A ROGUE ORGANIZATION DURING A VISIT TO ISRAEL WEDNESDAY. IT WAS HIS FIFTH VISIT TO ISRAEL SINCE THE WAR WITH HAMAS STARTED IN OCTOBER. GRAHAM MET WITH ISRAELI PRIME MINISTER BENJAMIN NETANYAHU IN JERUSALEM. HE ASSURED THE ISRAELI LEADER THAT ONE OF THE PROBLEMS YOU NEVER HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT IS AMERICA. I REJECT THE RULING OF THE INTERNATIONAL COURT OF JUSTICE. I REJECT THE ARREST WARRANTS OF THE ICC, AND I WILL DO EVERYTHING IN MY POWER TO MAKE SURE THE ICC IS SANCTIONED BY THE CONGRESS, BECAUSE WE’RE NEXT. FORMER SOUTH CAROLINA GOVERNOR NIKKI HALEY IS ALSO VISITING ISRAEL. SHE MET WITH ISRAEL’S DEFENSE MINISTER TODAY IN TEL AVIV. SOUTH CAROLINA LAWMAKERS ARE MEETING NEXT MONTH FOR A SPECIAL SESSION, AND BAR OWNERS HOPE THIS COULD BE AN OPPORTUNITY TO ANSWER THE ISSUES WITH LIQUOR LIABILITY BEFORE MORE BUSINESSES CLOSE THEIR DOORS. IT ALL STEMS FROM A BILL PASSED IN 2017 CALLED THE DRAM SHOP BILL. A BILL REQUIRES BUSINESSES THAT SERVE ALCOHOL TO HAVE A $1 MILLION LIABILITY POLICY, WHICH LED TO INSURANCE PREMIUMS TO RISE. LAWMAKERS AND BAR OWNERS STOOD TOGETHER WITH THE NEWLY FORMED SOUTH CAROLINA BAR AND TAVERNS ASSOCIATION IN CALLING ON COLUMBIA TO TAKE UP THE S.C. JUSTICE ACT. IF PASSED, THE BILL ALLOWS A COURT TO CONSIDER THE PERCENTAGE OF FAULT. LET’S COME UP WITH A REASONABLE SOLUTION WHERE IT’S NOT 100% ON THE BAR AND TAVERN OWNERS, LAWMAKERS WILL RETURN FOR THAT SPECIAL SESSION ON JUNE 5TH.
