From staff reports
South Carolina’s fourth-term Attorney General Alan Wilson was the guest speaker at a dinner Thursday, Sept. 28, sponsored by the Beaufort Republican Women’s and Men’s Clubs at the Quality Inn in Beaufort.
Wilson hit on several hot-topic issues. He leads an 18-state coalition in support of Tennessee’s defense of its Adult Entertainment Act which protects children from lewd and obscene behavior. A district court ruled against the law which applies to some forms of sexually explicit adult entertainment. Wilson filed an amicus brief which seeks to reverse the district court’s judgment.
Wilson spoke about the need for judicial reform in South Carolina. The Judicial Merit Selection Commission (JMSC), which consists of 10 individuals, is involved in the state’s judicial selection process, yet none of the 10 is from the Executive Branch of the state’s government. Wilson would like for the power to be split equally between the Executive and Legislative branches and checked by the Judicial branch.
And our current administration’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has been sued by Wilson and 17 other states for circumventing our immigration and asylum laws.
Sweet Grass Angels entertained while guests bid on auction items and dined on fantastic barbecue provided by KC Mike’s Smokin’ on Boundary Street.
