Judicial Merit Selection Committee – What is it?

2024 Judicial Elections heating up at the SC State House

Published

on

JMSC – Main Page: HERE

Ok … we have heard a lot about the desperate need for Judicial Reform in South Carolina (HERE) … and the fact that South Carolina is one of only two states where our Legislature (124 House Members & 46 Senators = 170 lawmakers) elects our judges.

And the legislators electing those judges include LAWYER LEGISLATORS … the same lawyer legislators that appear before these judges they elected.

Legislator Conflicts Of Interest:  So if you needed a lawyer … who would you hire?  The smartest lawyer on the street … or the lawyer legislator that ELECTED the judge you will appear in front of?  And if you were a lawyer legislator … wouldn’t your lawyer billable rate INCREASE substantially if you could tell clients you know the judge personally and helped put them on the bench?  Yes … they are PROFITTING … SUBSTANTIALLY!!!

Judicial Merit Selection Commission (JMSC):  So how does this whole process work?  How do legislators maintain tight control on the process?  It all runs through and is managed by legislators via the JMSC.  The JMSC has 10 members … 6 members of which are legislators … so who do you think controls the process?  Yes, it is simple math.

And wouldn’t a simple improvement be to bar “Lawyer Legislators” from being members of the JMSC?  Put non-lawyers on the JMSC.  That would be easy right?  Well … they don’t want to do even that.   


Below is the “Main Page” (HERE) of the SC Judicial Merit Selection Commission (JMSC).  This is where you can find a treasure trove of information about how the process works, how to file complaints, general information … and the 2024 Judicial Elections information (which is heating up at the SC State House right now).

So today you have a Homework Assignment!  Read up on the JMSC.  We have to know how it works if we want to fix it … or at least if we want to know how the “game” is played (to the disadvantage of citizens).

 There will be a test … so be prepared 😉  #Joke!!!

Hebrews 13:8

Published

on

Hebrews 13:8 offers a timeless standard for all of us: true leadership—at any level—is marked by unwavering consistency, reflecting the unchanging nature of Christ, who is the same “yesterday, today, and forever.”

A person of integrity remains firmly anchored to their core principles, undeterred by shifting political winds, proximity to power, or peer influence. They provide a steady foundation for those they lead and those around them. When someone begins to shift positions or abandon long-held convictions, it often signals questionable motives—whether driven by political expediency, access, promises of power, or personal reward.

In the end, Hebrews 13:8 reminds us that while the world constantly changes, a person truly worth your time and trust is one whose values remain as constant as the truth they embody.

To repeat from last Sunday (HERE), as we reflect on the lessons of this past year, Colossians 3:15 serves as a powerful reminder that our most important work begins within, by allowing the peace of Christ to act as the “umpire” of our hearts in every decision we make.

Happy Sunday!

Colossians 3:15

Published

on

As we reflect on the lessons of this past year, Colossians 3:15 serves as a powerful reminder that our most important work begins within, by allowing the peace of Christ to act as the “umpire” of our hearts in every decision we make.

As we step into the New Year, let the defining lesson of 2025 be this: true influence is not found in the sharpest whispers , but in the truth, steady spirit and hard work that chooses gratitude for where we have been and invites the peace of Christ to guide where we are going, setting us toward even greater impact in 2026

To repeat from last Sunday (HERE), Isaiah 9:6 offers a powerful guide for personal growth this Christmas season …

Happy Sunday!

Isaiah 9:6

Published

on

Isaiah 9:6 offers a powerful guide for personal growth this Christmas season.

The ‘Wonderful Counselor’ reminds us to seek wisdom and choose discernment instead of reacting impulsively. The ‘Prince of Peace’ calls us to cultivate a steady inner calm that holds firm, even in disagreements and heated debates.

Ultimately, this Scripture invites us to lead with character first – making sure our service flows from a commitment to wisdom, patience, and a peaceful spirit.

Happy Fourth Sunday of Advent!

To repeat from last Sunday (HERE), as we work tirelessly for stronger South Carolina, remember to remain patient, persistent, and firm in pursuing long-term goals, trusting that faithful effort will eventually yield results, much like a farmer’s harvest.

Happy Sunday!
