What a shitstorm. Even if Pleicones wins, the Court and judicial system lose.

At least we do not have judicial elections. I have heard Pleicones say that merit selection is the best of a bunch of bad mechanisms for selecting judges. I wonder if he would still stand by that position?

Sic: What about “advise and consent” to the executive’s choice?

A judge should be honest, respectful of peers and fair. Which of these two judicial candidates undeniably lied to the other about their intent to run for Chief Justice? Only Jean Toal. In this state though, it would be fitting to have the head of the judicial system be an unabashed liar.
On the topic of the Hearns, it was nice of George to get elected to the SC House only so long as to help his wife secure the needed votes from his Republican colleagues to be elected to the Supreme Court. Our entire state government is a fucking joke.

The guv appointing the Supreme Court? wow, GOP tyranny in SC would then extend to the judiciary. Your head has been in ladies’s high heels and lingerie too long. You’re losing your objectivity.

Yeah, if the Governor could appoint judges we’d have no favor-trading whatsoever. Just ask Catherine Templeton, Tom Cofield, Lillian Koller, Tim Scott, and so on and so forth. You are an idiot some days. Others you are completely fucking retarded.

Will there be a list of legislators who votes for that corrupt Jean Toal that the public could see so the voting public will know who to vote against come election time?
Start with Columbia’s James Smith. That arrogant smug ass is supporting Toal as one of her House leaders. Time to recruit an honest man for that seat.
Smith is a fraud if ever there was one. Playing that old time Democratic Party 1930’s BS. Let him support Toal and he’s out of here

“Toal’s court arbitrarily threw out an entire section of the test in an effort to artificially inflate the passage rate of the struggling Charleston School of Law (CSOL).”
I can’t figure out why the SC Supreme Court would want to “artificially inflate” the bar passage rate of CSOL grads. What makes you think that was the reason the Court disregarded its own rule, rather than a desire to artificially inflate the passage rate of a couple of well-connected kids who needed a boost?

I am here to tell you, in my schooled and experienced opinion Toal needs to go!
There is no doubt, in my opinion, Toal is corrupt and corruptable. No doubt in my mind Toal has influenced Judges in cases where she had friends, and or family.
The Highest Court needs integrity and honesty she absolutely CANNOT provide!
I also have NO doubt she will do ANYHING to be re-elected and maintain her control!

What happened to the investigation of George Hearn and those illegal campaign contributions? Ah!!! Toal is in charge of the investigation on behalf of attorney discipline. Guess we know who owns the Hearn family.

Shouldn’t the justices, circuit court judges, family court judges, and even magistrates have to run for their respective office? I remember when magistrates used to run for office just like the clerk of court, probate judge, etc.

This lobbying bears all the artfulness we’ve come to expect from the Hearns. It’s a transparent attempt to order the “succession” so that Kaye can become Chief Justice. Keep it classy, George.
Kaye’s first husband called in and said told you so.
We’ve been wondering when Kaye was going to write an opinion on adultery.

Where are all the Toalites? Generally, one or two will add something trite like oh she’s so smart and all that. Not this time.
