Do you know that SC is the only state in the nation (Virginia has a similar hybrid method) whereby our judges are selected by our legislature? That includes the lawyer legislators at our SC State House in Columbia that appear before these very same judges.
Who do you think has the upper-hand in court … your lawyer, or the lawyer who is also the person who put them on the bench (and controls whether they are re-appointed or advance to a higher judicial office)?
“Who do our judges really serve?”
The Alex Murdaugh murder case in Hampton County has really brought this issue to the forefront.
This is a little known issue for most South Carolinians … but it is one of the most impactful on all of us. Without a fair judicial system, there is not justice in our great state.
We will have more in the coming weeks on this and other opinion issues from our members.

WE NEED YOU …
No more excuses. We started mySCGOP.com to purge the RINOs in the SCGOP, and we stated mySCGOP.news because the mainstream #FakeNews media is in bed with our local politicians and government. No more will stories be swept under the rug. If you have a story that needs to be exposed … send it to us and we will get it out there. Have an opinion piece, or want to write a series, submit your writings to us at mySCGOP@protonmail.com. See something we can do better, let us know. We are about #WeThePeople … so here is your chance to stop complaining and start do something about it. They are watching and reading … let’s start exposing it all.
