This is a great idea, but the term should be half that….6 years, not 12.

After decades of years gone by and citizens who were done dirty by SC judges, guess who put up more barriers to protect bad SC judges?

A 2025 Amendment – updates to Rule 502, and Rule 413 include revisions to the screening process, specifically regarding the handling of time limitations for complaints and the service of subpoenas.

Use to be complaints against judges could be filed 10 to 20 years or more after the fact. But not anymore.

What about statute of limitations to charge a person with rape or homicide? There are none. But filing a complaint against a corrupt judge now must be done within 5 years of the alleged incident or …. .. .

What a messed up system!
