It's about time the justice system be overhauled in Utah. Justice cannot be
served if a legislative part of the government system is controlling the judges
and their decision making, part time or full time. For the legal system and
justice to work there is a requirement that a seperation of powers exist. We
don't let religion run the government, theoretically, so should the courts
be left alone. The legal system and courts are a seperate entity with its own
full powers and aurthority. Any judge that allows the city to dictate his/her
decisions do not belong on the bench either. Then the cities hoarding water
should be chastised and condemened. Farmers should have priority over water at a
lesser cost and be allowed to drill wells if needed. What good is a population
if it doesn't have food? Relying on imported food is unhealty and dangerous
as we have all seen with the tainted products of foreign countries that do not
give a damn about the american people. Nor do the mega importers that willfully
hide any defective imports. Home grown food is safer, healthier, and a must have
for the good of america.

It's funny...10 years ago, when the current justice court system was
established, many judges raised the same concerns that the legislature is
raising now. Too bad the Administrative Office of the Courts didn't listen
to the guys actually doing the work, or we'd have avoided countless
headaches and a myriad of injustices.

Right you are Bob. Supporting locally grown food will absolutely solve the
problems we are experiencing with Justice courts. Geez! What a brilliant
correlation!
