This “first step” falls obscenely short of authentic reform. The passivity of South Carolinians has allowed this grotesquely corrupt and criminal judicial system to flourish for the likes of the Murdaughs, Todd Rutherfords and countless others. Only until the people elect judges will this gasping-for-air judicial system be truly “reformed”.

This is a big step in the right direction. Judges running for election by the public would be a terrible situation because they would be fund raising from the defense attorneys and still owe them. They don’t need to “owe” anyone except the justice system

For the nth time, something must be done about the indefinite-term “citizens’ screening committees” which consist of lawyers whom no one elected.
Also, some feed back from litigants who appear pro se, and are too numerous to be ignored, must be legislated into the judicial selection process.
Otherwise, why did you, FITS, not post the bill itself? And what will happen next?

I just want to see pro law enforcement judges that actually get to stay on the bench. The esquire corruption runs deep.
