Judicial Reform in SC – The Appeal of Davis v. Leupp
Or “just the way it is” here in South Carolina.
Lawrence is taking a well deserved day off this week … so we thought we would bring you another 21 minute, 44 second video which demonstrates the clear need for JUDICIAL REFORM here in South Carolina.
Judicial Reform is the talk of political circles now … and folks will be pushing it hard in 2024 from both the Right & the Left. (October 4th, 2023 – FITSNews – HERE)
FITSNews (10/04/2023): HERE
Where It Started
Where “judicial reform” started for us was in 2014 when the SC Department of Revenue (SCDOR) under then Director Rick Reames (HERE) and then Governor Nikki Haley “TARGETED” us personally and Palmetto Kids FIRST Scholarship Program, Inc. for a South Carolina tax “audit”.
We all know how Lois Lerner (HERE) and the Internal Revenue Service under the Obama administration targeted TEA Party Groups back in 2013 (HERE) … well guess what … it happened right here in South Carolina too, just in reverse … and it was conservative Republicans targeting other conservative Republicans.
Imagine, opening your mailbox one day in 2014 and you have three “NOTICE OF AUDIT” letters from the SCDOR against yourself, your wife (we are married but filed our taxes separately at the time) … and a children’s non-profit helping special needs kids. I’m a tax attorney / CPA and been waiting my whole life to be audited … but is was still disturbing given the obvious political targeting we were already suffering from powerful people we did not even know.
We did not understand it at the time … all we wanted to do was raise money and give scholarships to K-12 kids with “special needs” in our spare time … and live our “retirement” life at the Isle of Palms … but it was all “political” and all over MONEY & special interest … and this evil is why we are involved in this movement to this day.
School Choice is not fixed here in South Carolina yet and we are sticking at it until it is done … no matter what it takes … and no matter “who” needs to be EXPOSED!!! The kids deserve it, and South Carolinians deserve better as well. The corruption that is dragging down South Carolina and our children must be STOPPED!!!
FollowTheMONEY!!!
[NOTE: Spoiler alert, the ultimate outcome of the “audits” after a year and a half and tens of thousands of dollars in legal expenses … (#1) I personally did not have a tax return filing requirement in South Carolina at the time, (#2) my wife Olga was completely cleared as all she had was two W-2s and a standard deduction … and (#3) nothing was ultimately found wrong with the non-profit Palmetto Kids FIRST as the SCDOR published a huge “faux” report full of errors and then mysteriously dropped the audit without finalizing the matter or correcting their obvious errors. It was a complete political targeting by SC State Government and certain politicians.]
LEGISLATORS CALLING JUDGES: We had faith in the system back then, but to be safe we did hire one of the biggest law firms in South Carolina … and specifically the head tax partner to handle our case. He was a referral from another prominent family / attorney here in SC.
After the first meeting the attorney had with Director Reames and other top officials at the SCDOR … the attorney told us this:
(#1) You are definitely being “targeted” and there is something much bigger / higher-up going on here. YES, the lawyer seemed scared as you don’t want to cross the SCDOR as they will ruin your career and take it out on your other clients. And in follow-up he told us …
(#2) It is not uncommon for a legislator to call a Judge and tell him/her how they want the case to turn out.
Are you kidding me?!?!?
As a USC Law School graduate / attorney myself I was FLOORED as such communications are a HUGE breach of judicial & lawyer ethics … but what was most troubling was the attorney did not seem to have a problem with it. It was “just the way it is” here in South Carolina.
NO, it is not acceptable as “just the way it is” … and JUDICIAL REFORM, specifically lawyer legislators picking judges in South Carolina, became a hot button issue for us personally.
But, enough of that background, let’s get back to the Davis v. Leupp case appeal and video …
Rule 12(b)(8)
(Duplicative cases not allowed … unless “political”?)
OK, so know that there is a reason for everything … and there is a very important “Rule of Civil Procedure” (HERE) in court cases that says you can’t file a case in one jurisdiction and go file the same case in another court, and another court, and another court. If someone does that it is easy to have the case dismissed under SC Rules of Civil Procedure, 12(b)(8).
Defenses – Rule 12(b)(8): “another action is pending between the same parties for the same claim.”
But the cases have to be identical. Same parties and same claims / facts.
Operative word … “SAME”!!! It is right there in the Rule.
But my Greenville case against Nate Leupp, my predecessor as Chairman of the Greenville County Republican Party, was dismissed under Rule 12(b)(8) even though it involved DIFFERENT parties … and different FACTS. Some facts and events in the Greenville case happened AFTER (as Court of Appeals Judge Blake Hewitt noted in the video) the events in the Richland case. It’s crazy town to say the two cases are the same!!!
So … how can a Greenville case with different parties and different claims, for events that happened AFTER a Richland case, be dismissed under Rule 12(b)(8) as duplicative?
Welcome to a “Banana Republic”!!! (HERE)
Banana Republic (defined): A country (or state like SC) with an economy of state capitalism (like selling out the SC Citizens & Taxpayers to Volkswagen for $1.4 Billion in 2023), whereby the country is operated as a private commercial enterprise for the exclusive profit of the ruling class (like our “legislators” and their monied special interest).
Innocent Mistake?
(and purposeful delay & distraction)
Realize, this original case was filed on November 12th, 2019.
It is now October 6th, 2023 … almost FOUR YEARS later … and this case was dismissed under Rule 12(b)(8) so nothing has been done for FOUR YEARS … except for HUNDREDS & HUNDREDS of manhours spent fighting this one clear issue!!!
Do we think the trial court Judge in Greenville made a simple mistake? Rule 12(b)(8) is only TWELVE WORDS … it is about as simple and basic of a Law School 101 class as you can get.
Or, do we think some “lawyer legislators” may have made a call to the Judge and told him how they wanted the case to turn out? Like the Columbia big firm partner told us its “just the way it is” here in South Carolina.

RAV – WarRoom: HERE
We don’t follow a lot of podcast or new world media … and certainly not the #FakeNews Media who have been lying to us for DECADES now … because really, WE are personally living it on the front lines on a daily basis.
But … there is one exception and it is STEVE BANNON’s WARROOM (and now we are adding in BILL FRADY’s radio show). We started noticing that a lot … and I mean A LOT … of “our people” kept talking about STEVE BANNON. I knew him generally from the first TRUMP Administration … but like I have always said, WE “live” this mess on the bleeding edge … and we don’t have time to follow all this stuff online.
However, Bannon has a very good “resume” … outstanding to be frank .. and when I started watching, all I could think is “this guy is saying the same thing WE have been saying” … and he has a lot more direct contacts in DC and TRUMP World than we do … so we started watching and now we are addicted.
So friends … if you do not know STEVE BANNON & WARROOM … you need to. We sorta do WARROOM here in South Carolina … but BANNON does it nationally, and like us, is all about grassroots, precinct strategy, and getting us all involved as a FORCE MULTIPLIER!!!
ACTION!!!
ACTION!!!
ACTION!!!
I’d highly recommend watching on Roku or FireTV by downloading the RAV (Real Americas Voice) App. They run a live TV … but you can catch up on WARROOM recordings anytime using the app.

Friends, the term “Radical Transparency” is being used a lot in Washington DC and with D.O.G.E. right now … and people are loving it. That is fantastic as we have been preaching it for years.
To us … radical transparency is a LITMUS TEST issue. If your elected official won’t meet … they are not to be trusted … and should be primaried … PERIOD!!!
Now, I am not saying they have to meet with every crazy and “unstable” guy off the street that wants to get together and hear themselves talk about the same thing … 5 days a week … but if you are an “honest broker” looking to ask questions … especially hard questions … of your elected “leader” and they are not willing / able to meet in a timely manner … the general rule (99% of the time) they are HIDING SOMETHING!!!
Elected Officials … in order to be an “elected official” that The People are willing to accept .. must practice RADICAL TRANSPARENCY … and more importantly we must DEMAND IT!!!
We do not need to keep falling for their tricks … DEMAND RADICAL TRANSPARENCY!!!
My Story = Your Story
And don’t think it is just you … I personally have been in elected leadership of the Greenville County Republican Party (GCRP) for 4 years now … 2 years as Chairman and 2 years as the State Executive Committeeman. At this stage, I really know what is going on (although we learn more every day) … I have really HARD questions to ask our elected officials … and I was elected to ask those questions.
And, there are certain elected officials who won’t meet with me (like the SC Freedom Caucus, Drew McKissick, and a bunch of RINOs) who obviously have something to hide … and fortunately there are quite a few that will meet, answer the tough questions, and often change course when they hear our perspective.
But for the ones that won’t meet … that is OK. If I was doing bad things and trying to hide it, I would not want to meet with me either … just like the DOGE “targets” that don’t want to explain themselves to Elon Musk or Donald TRUMP.
[NOTE: And know too … it is not just me. I know many an elected official that say other elected officials won’t meet with them either. It is everywhere … and they know which ones are BAD and doing corrupt things. And guess what, like with the DOGE “targets”, the bad people here in South Carolina that won’t meet are simply SELF IDENTIFYING THEMSELVES … so to me it is a good thing!!!]
Everyone wants DOGE South Carolina … we do too … but guess what, you already have it. You are DOGE, we are DOGE … and anyone who won’t meet, needs to be DOGE’d (aka Primaried) next June 9th, 2026.
It all starts with a simple question to your elected official … “will you meet” … and if they do meet, don’t be DUPED. lol Do your homework and be prepared … call us for tips … and we will happily JOIN YOU … and as we always teach, remember to TRUST NOTHING & verify everything … even what we tell you!!!

mySCGOP Online Precinct ReOrg Manual
Empowering South Carolinians Though Precinct Engagement
We have been teaching Precinct ReOrg here in South Carolina since 2021 … and participation has increased substantially for The People in 2021 & 2023 … it worked … and we want to make #ReOrg2025 will be the BIGGEST EVER!!!
And obviously we have gotten A LOT of questions over the years.
We believe ReOrg should be a transparent & fair process … but the RINOs don’t want you to know about it … and they cheat. Y’all know our theory … the RINOs want to “Keep it small to control it all.” We however what EVERYONE to know about ReOrg … because we trust The People … and we don’t want anyone controlling the Party … especially RINOs.
Over the past four years we have shared A LOT with our morning emails (like this) … and shared these articles on www.mySCGOP.news … everything from data, Rules, tactics & strategies to further the MAGA America First Agenda here in South Carolina … to empower The People to FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT!!!
But … we still get A LOT of questions on the nuts & bolts of ReOrg … the “basics” … especially from the sooooooo many new Patriots getting involved every day … so we thought it would be helpful to put our REORG MANUAL online … on a dedicated website with all the basics … all the ABCs … on “.xyz” ….
Take a look … let us know your thoughts, any edits, any additions … and let’s teach EVERYONE about ReOrg. We will be adding more … but email us at team@mySCGOP.com.

#ReOrg2025 … the SOLUTION
ReOrg is our “big deal” right now … actually it should be the ONLY DEAL … and we wanted to remind everyone why given all the crazy legislative mess going on in Columbia.
It really is easy to understand. By winning ReOrg, we are able to use the voice (and the Bully Pulpit) of our local and state GOP to get better Candidates / Elected Officials … so we can ultimately get better LEGISLATION.
We all know TRUMP would not have won the White House if Chair Ronna McDaniel & Co-Chair Drew McKissick were still in charge of the RNC. They would have sabotaged the TRUMP Campaign from within the RNC … and we would have 4 more years of Biden / Kamala. All the excitement out of DC would not exist if TRUMP had not replaced Ronna & Drew with our friends Michael Whatley & Lara TRUMP.
In Greenville, when our 10 Republican & 2 Democrat “liberal” County Council passed the biggest property tax increase in our history back in June 2023 … the Greenville County Republican Party (GCRP) got busy!!! We produced the below PALM CARD by the tens of thousands and distributed them all across the county in our 151 Precincts. We also officially CENSURED the 6 Republicans that voted for the tax increase – and mobilized our precincts for the June Primaries.
Do you think the general public listened MORE because it was the GCRP saying it? We do!!! And, they must have, because on June 11th, 2024 we flipped 3 of the 4 seats (in the 4th race our candidate had to back out last minute for family issues) … and on June 9th, 2026 we will get the other two that were not up in 2024.
ReOrg is that important!!! Get Involved!!!
Bonus Content:
BONUS CONTENT: And, if you are curious why certain people & elected officials “oppose” us so hard (and especially me individually) … and why all the lies, slander and actual HATE? It is because RINOs, and even folks you would think should be on our TEAM, do not want to be held accountable. Seriously, no one wants to be held accountable … especially elected officials … and holding people accountable is the JOB of the GOP!!! #JoinUS!!! Join us and really WIN!!!

The past 7 days … since TRUMPs inauguration on Monday, January 20th at 12 O’clock Noon … have been one of the most exciting 7 political days in history. Donald J. TRUMP, a man who had the entire apparatus of the United States Government against him … the entire Department of Justice & the FBI hunting him … and he NEVER GAVE UP … he came back and showed us exactly what it meant to #NeverSurrender!!!
One thing in Greenville that we DO NOT allow people to speak about are “EXCUSES”!!! There are no excuses … Donald J. TRUMP did not use excuses to quit … and he had plenty … so we will not either.
Folks will try to say there is too much “apathy” out there and they can not find anyone to come to their Precinct ReOrg meeting. You have got to be kidding me!!! Friends, this is the most exciting time in HISTORY to get MAGA / America FIRST Patriots involved. This is the best time EVER to RECRUIT, RECRUIT, RECRUIT!!!
GROW PERSONALLY & PROFESSIONALLY: I remember 4 years ago, the first time I knocked on a random “Republican” door to invite them to our Precinct ReOrg meeting … it was scary!!! I had a law degree, I was a CPA, I had given presentations to large groups … worked with CEOs, professional athletes & billionaires … but I was nervous not knowing “who” was behind that door and what they would say.
Guess what … it is normal to be nervous … but I pushed through … and it made me a better person individually & professionally. I’ll knock on any door and talk with anyone today. I have learned to LISTEN and connect with people. YES … LISTEN, LISTEN, LISTEN!!! It was one of the best things I ever forced myself to do (since the Citadel) … and it will be GREAT for you too!!!
Sure … find what works for you … door knocking, phone calls, text messages … social media canvasing … whatever works … but CHALLENGE YOURSELF to bring 10 people to your Precinct ReOrg meeting. Push Yourself!!! We all have friends and family living all across South Carolina that SUPPORT TRUMP and want to Make America Great Again!!! Get out there and TELL THEM about #ReOrg2025 … and get them to attend their local precinct ReOrg meeting IN MARCH and vote for the MAGA / America First Patriots.
NOW … get out there and keep recruiting!!!

(#1) Money & (#2) Ego / Access
This week so far we have shared with you the “Why” of ReOrg … Part 1, “Why Don’t I Know About Precinct ReOrg?” (HERE) … Part 2, “Why Does ReOrg Matter?” (HERE).
It is pretty simple … you never heard of ReOrg because the RINO “establishment” did not want you to know about it so that they could “KEEP IT SMALL TO CONTROL IT ALL” … and ReOrg matters because it is the ONLY way we are going to get good America FIIRST candidates / elected officials, and ultimately good America FIRST legislation … which is the reason ultimately why we are all here and involved, right? It better be!!! lol
By it occurred to us to share with you what drives the RINO “establishment” … and it is NOT policy or a desire to “Save America”.
Understanding RINOs
As we mentioned yesterday, most of us here are involved because we have a CAUSE. It may be something like “real” school choice for me personally … or right to life … or election integrity … or judicial reform … etc., etc., etc. RINOs & the “establishment” may have started off with a cause too, but the have long since given up the desire to FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT … and “eased” into the go along to get along mode.
But know that there are TWO types of RINOs … and they are motivated by TWO things only:
(#1) MONEY: These are the real dangerous RINOS … although you can sorta understand them if you understand greed. Basically all they care about is $$$$ and they do what they do to line their pockets. They support (and are) the Lindsey Graham type politicians because that is how they do business and access the TRILLIONS of taxpayer dollars spent annually by the government. They are ok selling out America if it will keep them in their accustomed lifestyle … or get them an even bigger house or bigger boat. They look nice, talk nice … will sound nice (and smart) as they tell you “why” things have to be the way they are, and that you just don’t understand. And they will tell you they are “conservatives” … as they promote bigger government over and over. These are your lobbyists, donors (to RINOs), senior staffers / appointees, and high-end social types who have actual business & non-profit interests to consider and protect. These are truly dangerous RINOs and are the ones you should be watching … not all the social media ego types detailed below.
[NOTE: Most actual elected officials fall into this MONEY category as they have to be smart / savvy enough (at least initially) to actually get elected … and they have to understand the financial and donation “grift” in order to get re-elected … but the twist with the elected official is they also have a lot of ego and desire for access. As such, most elected officials are a hybrid of both types of RINOs.]
(#2) EGO / ACCESS: Now these are the real scary RINOs … these people are involved because they have literally nothing better to do in their life. They enjoy talking with politicians / elected officials … and taking selfies with them for Facebook and to show their friends. Heck, we have a lot in the SCGOP leadership that simply LIVE for their annual photo at the Governor’s Christmas Party to show all their friends back home at Sunday Church … or perhaps, if they are lucky one day, they will be given the “ORDER OF THE PALMETTO” so that their family members will have a legacy to talk about … as they are “groomed” as the next generation of RINOs. They have no substantial business interest or cause related to government, they just like hanging around like rock band “groupies” … and if you say anything negative about “their elected friend”, get ready for the INSANITY on social media. They will trash and defame you online … and they are “used” (although they are too stupid to know it) by their elected “friends” to trash political opponents in ways the elected official personally could never do. In exchange, the elected official will talk with the person before / after legislative / county council sessions, they will like and share their social media posts … maybe appoint them to a “Board or Commission” … and they will talk “inside baseball” and gossip with these RINOs to string them along like they are “special”. And on special occasions, for the real nasty ones willing to do really nasty things to others … these RINOs may actually get a “job” with the elected officials campaign (little $500 / $1,000 type tasks paid by the campaign) … or an actual “government” job for which they are absolutely not qualified for.
These folks are only relevant if you let them be … so generally try to ignore them … however, BEWARE the politicians that associate / use these types. Any elected official that gives too much credibility to the INSANE crowd … they are someone you don’t want representing The People for another term.
Give it a try. Watch the politically involved (and your elected officials) and try to figure out what bucket they fall in (or will fall in in the future). We think you will find this classification system very eye-opening.
Future RINOs?
BONUS CONTENT – WHAT ARE “FUTURE RINOs”?: We hint at this as a bit of an inside jab at those we have seen “flip” to the RINO side … but future RINOs are folks like us that got involved (after 2020) because they said they had a cause … or wanted to “Save America” … but you can tell they care more about the MONEY or the EGO/ACCESS when push comes to shove. They initially think being a “Patriot” is easy … but when someone threatens their job / business (MONEY) … or they risk losing access to their elected “friends” (EGO / ACCESS) … they fold like a cheap suit.
You probably know what we are talking about. You now see them going to the RINO “parties” and hanging with the same people a few years ago they got involved to fight. Learn to identify them, and stay as far away as you possibly can. We tend to give them a chance to “figure it out” and come back into the fold … we don’t want to become what we are fighting so hard to PURGE … but they should NEVER (at least not for many years) be given any leadership positions within our movement as they are likely to “flip” again when the going gets tough.
