DOGE SC-backed bill advances to change how South Carolina vets judges

Submitted by South Carolina in January 2026.

Press Mention

South Carolina legislators are again considering changes to how the state vets its judges, this time giving the governor total control of the panel that screens them. Only one organization , the state League of Women Voters, testified on the bill. Lynn Teague, LWVSC, said the organization supports keeping legislators off the panel as a way to balance powers between the branches of government. But the League would still like to see the General Assembly have some voice in who sits on that panel. Teague said the League also is opposed to the new anti-DEI language. "We need a judiciary that looks more like South Carolina."
