Honestly this guy doesn't sound too "bright"

Yesterday, we took a look at South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham's top-polling Tea Party primary challenger, state Sen. Lee Bright, who thinks the income tax is something out of Nazi Germany and is concerned about women with nice nails and pocketbooks getting food assistance.

It turns out that Bright doesn't just want to eliminate a host of core federal programs...he's also itching to refight the Civil War.

In a series of speeches to Republican and Tea Party gatherings this year, Bright has riled up crowds with the states-rights rallying cry, "If the Tenth Amendment won't protect the Second, we might have to use the Second to protect the Tenth."

Bright is a proponent of nullification, the unconstitutional idea that states can "nullify" federal laws that they don't like. This year, he sponsored a bill in the state senate to nullify the Affordable Care Act.
