S.C. Attorney General Alan Wilson will ask Supreme Court Justice Donald Beatty to recuse himself from criminal cases because of comments the judge made during a speech earlier this year.

Wilson sent a letter to 13 solicitors, who have complained about comments Beatty made during their annual conference. The letter, sent Dec. 12, cites case law that Wilson said he will use to seek Beatty’s recusal from some cases. He also said he will support solicitors who ask Beatty to recuse himself from any disciplinary hearings for attorneys on their staffs.

“Accordingly, with these legal principles in mind, based upon Justice Beatty’s remarks, we will seek his recusal in any specific case where warranted under the law,” Wilson wrote

According to previous news reports, Beatty, elected to the Supreme Court in 2007, told the audience of prosecutors they had “been getting away with too much for too long.” The court will no longer overlook unethical conduct, such as witness tampering, selective and retaliatory prosecutions, perjury and suppression of evidence, Beatty said.

1. Am I missing something here?

The judge's remarks don't seem very teabaggy to me. Baggers usually deify prosecutors and regard defense lawyers as the antichrist.

2. The

State AG, who is Joe "you lie" wilson's son, wants the judge to recuse himself from criminal cases because of those remarks. Telling prosecutors that they will be held accountable for things like witness tampering, withholding exculpatory evidence, perjury and more is reason to to have a SC supreme justice to recuse himself.
