Judicial Merit Selection Committee – What is it?

2024 Judicial Elections heating up at the SC State House

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 – June 21st, 2026

Romans 8:18

Tuesday brings the runoff elections, and many of us are heading to the polls without great enthusiasm. The choices feel limited and imperfect at best. Even so, let us hold fast to this truth: “For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us.” – Romans 8:18.

These imperfect battles and flawed options are part of the present struggle. They may frustrate us, but they are temporary. What matters is that we refuse to surrender the ground. Every vote cast helps shape the direction of our state and slows those who would move us further away from our goals and victories. Show up. Vote. Be engaged. Do what we can with the cards we’ve been dealt. The glory and the victories worth having are still ahead for those who remain faithful and engaged.

Runoff Election Day is Tuesday, June 23rd – GO VOTE!!!

“I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.“

Romans 8:18

To repeat from last Sunday (HERE), as Patriots, we love our country and deeply care about the future of our great Palmetto State. Proverbs 22:29 offers a timely reminder of what truly matters this election season: “Do you see someone skilled in their work? They will serve before kings; they will not serve before officials of low rank.”

Happy Sunday!

Wilson v Evette – Betting Odds

Alan Wilson 85% v. Pamela Evette 13%

Published

June 17, 2026

mySCGOP.news

No, we don’t encourage “betting” … but we do encourage following the BETTING ODDS (aka “Predication Markets”). Polls can be easily manipulated … and these prediction markets can be as well … but when people have to put their money where their mouth is, it is a lot harder to fake.

We love studying these elections … the data, the momentum, the candidate’s personal pros/cons, the donors and the dark money really controlling candidates … the CONSULTANTS … it’s all fascinating.

As we teach, NOTHING is what it seems in politics.

This SC Governor’s campaign will be one to study. The “autopsy” will be amazing. We expect the “Powers that Be“ will start listening to the MAGA / America FIRST grassroots in the future … but we will find out for sure if there are lessons to learn next Tuesday.

Betting Odds as of June 17th, 2026 at 10:53am:

Alan Wilson: 85%
Pamela Evette: 13%

The primary runoff is on June 23rd, 2026 … with early voting on Wednesday (the 17th) & Thursday (the 18th). GO VOTE!!!

As Patriots, we love our country and deeply care about the future of our great Palmetto State. Proverbs 22:29 offers a timely reminder of what truly matters this election season: “Do you see someone skilled in their work? They will serve before kings; they will not serve before officials of low rank.”

True leadership is not about the loudest voice, empty promises, or political games, it is about competence, integrity, and selfless service.

We seek leaders who communicate clearly and honestly with the people they serve. Leaders who demonstrate a genuine willingness to serve every South Carolinian – not just special interests or party insiders. Leaders who prioritize doing what is right for our state over political ambition, and who embrace transparency so citizens can see how decisions are made and where their tax dollars go.

Runoff Election Day is Tuesday, June 23rd – GO VOTE!!!

“Do you see any truly competent workers? They will serve kings rather than working for ordinary people”

Proverbs 22:29

To repeat from last Sunday (HERE), as we approach the South Carolina primaries this coming Tuesday, we can take pride in the hard work behind us – doors knocked, voters informed, and values defended.

Happy Sunday!
