Judicial Merit Selection Committee – What is it?

2024 Judicial Elections heating up at the SC State House

Published

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.   

HOMEWORK

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!!!

Happy Sunday – February 22nd, 2026

Matthew 4:4

Happy Lent!

Matthew 4:4 reminds us that while physical needs like food, security, and prosperity, are real and important, they are not the ultimate source of life or strength. True sustenance, endurance, and victory come from feeding on every word that proceeds from God’s mouth – His truth, His promises, His guidance found in Scripture.

Bread sustains the body, but truth sustains the soul. Our integrity as a body depends on our commitment to the truth, even when it’s the harder path to walk.

“Jesus answered, ‘It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God”

Matthew 4:4

To repeat from last Sunday (HERE), success is rarely a straight line. It emerges from rising one more time amid fierce resistance.

Happy Sunday!

Happy Sunday – February 15th, 2026

Proverbs 24:16

Success is rarely a straight line. It emerges from rising one more time amid fierce resistance. Each challenge met, each obstacle overcome, building unbreakable momentum. We rise higher because our foundation rests on lasting truths, not the shifting winds of fleeting politics.

No matter the obstacles arrayed against us, we keep moving forward.

As Scripture reminds us:

“For though the righteous fall seven times, they rise again, but the wicked stumble when calamity strikes.”

Proverbs 24:16

To repeat from last Sunday (HERE), in the heat of passionate debates and important decisions for grassroots activism and community, let’s remember the timeless wisdom of Proverbs 18:13: ‘To answer before listening—that is folly and shame.’

Happy Sunday!

Proverbs 18:13

In the heat of passionate debates and important decisions for grassroots activism and community, let’s remember the timeless wisdom of Proverbs 18:13: ‘To answer before listening—that is folly and shame.’

This verse reminds us that true strength and leadership come not from quick reactions or assumptions, but from first seeking to understand. Rushing in with opinions or judgments, without fully hearing the facts or the people involved, often leads to division and missed opportunities.

Let’s strive to be known not just for the strength of our convictions, but for the wisdom of our discernment.

“To answer before listening—

that is folly and shame“

Proverbs 18:13

To repeat from last Sunday (HERE), Proverbs 24:11-12 serves as a sobering reminder that “staying out of it” is rarely a virtue when the vulnerable are at risk.

Happy Sunday!
