Editorial warns that the Aiken County magistrate nomination of Danny Lynn remains stalled as Sen. Moore and Sen. Ryberg clash over his qualifications. Moore supports Lynn, while Ryberg opposes, urging removal. The piece calls for higher standards, possible Senate vote, and a cross‑party agreement to appoint a truly qualified candidate. The column likens the dispute to The Never Ending Story.
