I want to punch this guy in the face
South Carolina is trading its all-male Supreme Court for an all-white one
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — South Carolina is trading its all-male state Supreme court for an all-white one.
The General Assembly, which picks almost all state judges, voted 152-0 to elevate Court of Appeals Judge Letitia Verdin to the high court Wednesday. The white woman will take the seat of Chief Justice Don Beatty, who has reached the mandatory retirement age of 72. Beatty is Black.
Verdin was the only candidate left after two others dropped out when they realized they couldn’t get enough votes in the 170-seat Legislature. One candidate was a Black woman and the other was a white man.
