How about you and Alan Wilson list out some specifics? Instead of saying “liberal activist judges” name the specific judges you are talking about and tell us which rulings you are referring to. Tell us the retired judges besides Toal who are “flouting the law” and in which cases and through what rulings?
I can name a few more besides Toal. How about Kinlaw and Beatty , they have the combined IQ of a brick. Kinlaw makes up his own rules as he goes along and tries hard to give the most lenient sentences he can.
Thomas Hughston, a rouge that often times thumbed his nose at, in part, the Judicial Canons. Court reporters were well known to cover for him out of fear. One reporter quickly retired after receiving notice of the start of an appeal process. Audio recordings of a hearing where Hughston’s twisted and sick humored words before court staff, a very small number of attorneys with their client were on that audio recording made by the said court reporter. Court administration took possession of the reporters files
Shockingly, both the recording and steno records were illegally destroyed. The audio tape had other hearings on the same that took place before and after the fact But this hearing in particular was erased from that same tape. The destruction of these records after timely notice of appeal was given, clearly unlawful. Again, the hearing before and after this particular hearing where all records were destroyed, were both untouched and left intact. A reconstruction hearing had to be scheduled before Hughston before an appeal could move forward. During this hearing, Hughston, of course, was on his best behavior. But still he is not excused for his unacceptable conduct and his possible directive to destroy records when under notice of appeal.
Back then, nobody in the SC legal community dared point out what was going on inside a dirty system.
Josh appears to have all the appeal of a paper cut. No chance ever being a state judge.
I can only imagine how frustrating it must be when someone asks for proof of what you are saying.
This is a whole bunch of words. But I can’t find a single case you are referring to where there was an actual issue. Please tell us what you are talking about and give us a specific case and a specific judge who gave a ruling that wasn’t something that was appropriate. All the word salad is fine. But let’s talk about a real issue. What on earth are you talking about? Name one case where the ruling was against the law. Otherwise stop.
