We have a state legislature here in SC that votes whatever they want to

In the opening segment of the second hour, Charlie James discussed the push for judicial selection reform in South Carolina, highlighting the tension between the House and Senate as the 2026 legislative session progresses. While the House recently passed a bill to give the governor full control over the Judicial Merit Selection Commission (JMSC)—a move aimed at ending the "lawmaker monopoly" and increasing public trust—the measure has stalled in the Senate Judiciary Committee. Critics in the Senate remain protective of the current system, despite polling that shows 58% of South Carolinians favor reform to ensure a more independent judiciary.
