Proposed change would “send us back to the wild west of revolving doors for criminals thumbing their noses at the authority of our courts.”

No reference to the former Honorable Bentley Douglas Price who enabled these two political chuckle heads!

It’s a shame that Lindsey graham blocked Pascoe from being the u s attorney these past 4 years. He may be a democrat but he is extremely honest and would zealously go after crooked politicians in both parties. I’m sure Rutherford made some calls to graham to make sure he couldn’t get the nomination

Gatch and Rutherford should be ashamed! They don’t care that the state is over run with these misfits that are allowed to continue to perpetrate even more crimes as they are out on bond. I have no words to fully describe my disgust with these two and all lawyer legislators who screw the system every chance they get. They are a pain in the a$$!

Bad Lawyers everywhere. At least because SC has no statute of limitations on criminal offenses, we can go back to the 1980s and 1990s on crimes they should have been charged with but were protected from by their crony friends and other lawyers and crooked judges ). The evidence against them is beyond letting them get away this time.

While I think Gatch and Rutherford are decent and intelligent people, they are the prime examples of Lawyer Legislators that citizens are sick and tired of. REAL judicial reform can and will happen, but what these 2 want to reform is exacerbated “junk-law”. I encourage House Judicial Chairman Weston Newton and Senate Judicial Chairman Luke Rankin to kill any proposal such as these two have in mind.
