The Senate assembled at 10:30 A.M., the hour to which it stood adjourned, and was called to order by the PRESIDENT Pro Tempore, Senator DRUMMOND.
A quorum being present, the proceedings were opened with a devotion by the Chaplain as follows:

Beloved, hear a word from the Book of Exodus, Chapter 33 (vv. 9,11):
"When Moses entered the tent, the pillar of cloud would descend and stand at the entrance of the tent, and the Lord would speak with Moses...
Thus the Lord used to speak to Moses   face to face, as one speaks to a friend."
Let us pray.
Lord God, You dwell in the highest heaven. You dwell beyond mankind's loftiest thoughts... beyond our highest hopes!
You also dwell in our hearts!
Out of the cloud at his tent You spoke to Moses... as a friend!
So speak to each of us!
Help us defeat the evil in the world, beginning with the cleansing of our own minds.
Sometimes we are a bit depressed because we cannot please all our constituents.
Give us, O Lord, the peace of mind that comes with knowing that we have squared our consciences with You. And Yours will be the glory today!
Amen.

Remarks by Senator FAIR

"Mr. President, Mr. Speaker, and Ladies and Gentlemen. The challenge that we have before us is difficult at best. Electing people to the bench is a sobering responsibility. Please understand that even though I rise to oppose a candidate, this is not personal, but it is necessary. You know, this process, competition and opposition help us to fulfill our responsibility as the check and the balance that is critical in our system. It is not my desire to unnecessarily embarrass anyone but if a judge's behavior goes unchecked, then we are the ones who should be held to derision and contempt. I have a copy of the Bar Association's rating of these judges. Note whose name is at the bottom. Note whose name is last in every single category. It is this judge. I have received more complaints about this judge in the last few years than I have about all other judges in all the races during my 14 years in the General Assembly. Our system gives awesome power to the judiciary and I understand the reluctance of lawyers to oppose an incumbent judge. But ladies and gentlemen, this abuse of power cannot continue and if we don't stand in that gap, as the legitimate balance, no one will. As I stand here, I am thinking of the frustration, fear, disappointment and defeat of men, women, and children who have entered this judge's court looking for justice but left bewildered and confused some even asking, 'How could this happen in America?... How could this happen in SC?' I am not going to seek further delays... but I am asking you to vote 'no'. A 'no' vote is a vote against arrogance... a 'no' vote is a vote against favoritism... a, 'no', vote is a vote for the competence and complete propriety that should accompany the name 'Judge'... a 'no' vote is also a vote of thanks for the usually exemplary work that is the hallmark of the SC courts. Ladies and gentlemen, elections like this test the integrity of our system. Mr. President, please record me as voting 'no' on this candidate."

Senator BRYAN argued in favor of the nomination.

The question before the body was whether to elect Amy C. Sutherland to the position of Judge, Family Court, Thirteenth Judicial Circuit, Seat #3.
Whereupon, the ACTING PRESIDENT announced that the Honorable Amy C. Sutherland was elected Judge, Family Court, Thirteenth Judicial Circuit, Seat #3, for the term prescribed by law.
